Reported experience

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Example prompts

Try with ChatGPT Agent
Research the best [product type] under $[budget] for [my main use], spending about 30 minutes. Build an Excel file with one tab per candidate plus a comparison tab covering price, key specs, pros, cons and source links, then a short slide deck summarizing your top three picks. Finish when both files are ready and tell me which claims you could not verify.
