Episode notes
Integrate, Don’t Just Extend
- Build deep integration rather than add-ons when you want AI to act across UI surfaces like text fields and personalization.
- Integrate memories and identity to let the model act with your context and preferences.
Agents Have Their Own Tab Workspaces
- Agents in Atlas get their own workspace and can open background tabs to research or act on tasks for you.
- When finished, the agent presents results so you can inspect steps or accept the outcome.
Use Agent Mode To Automate Tasks
- Use agent mode when you want ChatGPT to take action on webpages, like making charts or commenting in docs.
- Watch the agent work to learn the steps and retain control with visible stop controls.
