Summary
ZDNET says ChatGPT Work can browse the web, manage files and execute multi-step tasks, with free users getting limited access and $20-a-month Plus users able to handle moderate regular projects.
The guide urges users to start with small assignments, ask for a plan before long runs and check usage limits so the agent does not stop midway through a job.
Security and accuracy are the main cautions: never share passwords, keep backups before destructive file actions, grant the fewest permissions possible and review any Gmail drafts before sending.
A sample task had ChatGPT Work spend a little over 10 minutes finding Prime-eligible wireless vertical mice that support at least two Bluetooth devices and opening each candidate in separate tabs.
