Plan a friend's wedding trip with an agent

The ChatGPT Agent demo has it buy an outfit, book travel and choose a gift for a friend's wedding.

What They Did

The thread only relays Sam Altman’s launch post, which says ChatGPT Agent was demoed preparing for a friend’s wedding by using its own computer to handle tasks like buying an outfit, booking travel, and choosing a gift. He also says it combines Deep Research and Operator, can alternate between reasoning and taking actions, and should be given only the minimum access needed.

How It Went

The post gives no metrics or step-by-step outcome for the wedding-trip demo itself. In comments, users describe the shown result as only about 50% accurate and joke that it bought the wrong dress or canceled the wedding, but those are reactions, not verified results.

Worth Knowing

The clearest practical catch is Altman’s warning to treat it as experimental and avoid high-stakes or highly sensitive tasks; limit its access to the minimum needed.
