So OpenAI just dropped a new tool called ChatGPT Agent, and Grant and I are going to try it out for the first time right now. All right. Welcome, humans, to another episode of the Neuron Podcast. I'm Corey Knowles here with our awesome writer, Grant Harvey, as always. Say hi, Grant. What's up? How's it going? Going great, man. Going great. I always love launch day. Launch day gets me excited.

How about you?

33.984 - 40.213 Grant Harvey

Yeah, it's awesome. It's really awesome when it's something that actually is cutting edge, like what we're about to do today.

40.413 - 73.02 Corey Knowles

Yeah, what we're about to see is, to quote Chad GPT, this is a real game changer. And I don't say that lightly. It's pretty cool, and I think something we're... I want to say on the precipice of, but we're kind of cartwheeling and tumbling right into right now is a real change in the way we use the Internet and computers. You know, things are about to look a lot different.

73.3 - 77.068 Corey Knowles

And what we're going to show you today is a really interesting glimpse into that.

78.162 - 101.004 Grant Harvey

Yeah, definitely. So we'll talk about, we'll intro the tool in just a minute, but I think it's important to point out a couple of things. First of all, what is an agent? Second of all, how have we made agents or agents up until this point? And then why what we're about to show you is a big deal. Yeah. Yeah. So first of all, Corey, what, in your opinion, is an agent?

101.384 - 114.299 Corey Knowles

When you ask me what an agent is, you should know that I disagree with a lot of people on this subject. It's a thing where I get really lost in the semantics, kind of, because, you know, over the last year, a lot of companies have come out and started talking about their agents and all of this.

114.539 - 124.791 Corey Knowles

And what they're really doing, in my opinion, is busting out Zapier automations that can do a task over and over once you set it up and build out this whole thing. And in my eye...

127.083 - 152.072 Corey Knowles

you know, truly agentic AI is the ability to have your AI tool do something autonomous, to make decisions throughout the process, to understand what tools it needs to use, and just go figure that out and come back with a result that is without a human in the loop and less Unless there's a need for one at some point.
