Research & KnowledgeDone with ChatGPT Agent
Research laptops and build a comparison table and deck
The reviewer had ChatGPT Agent research budget laptops over about 30 minutes; research was decent but the deck looked cheap. It also built a multi-tab Excel file.
- What They Did
- In ChatGPT's agent mode, the reviewer asked it to research the best budget laptops, compare specs, and send back a summary with a table and a presentation. The agent opened its own virtual desktop, and the reviewer watched it read laptop review articles. It worked in the background for about 30 minutes. Separately, a spreadsheet test produced a multi-tab Excel file.
- How It Went
- The research and summary were decent and the information was solid, but the presentation looked cheap and unprofessional. The reviewer says a very detailed prompt would be needed to get the deck right on the first try.
- Worth Knowing
- Agent mode needs a paid plan: Plus at $20/month includes 40 agent messages a month. The agent mostly gave screenshots rather than actual sources.
