ChatGPT Work Can Now Log Into Websites and Run Errands Without Seeing Your Passwords
OpenAI has announced a new autonomous action capability for ChatGPT Work, rolling out website login on web and mobile to Plus, Pro, and Business users. Users can authorize ChatGPT to log into websites on their behalf and carry out tasks that normally require manual clicks, such as booking DMV, passport, or vet appointments, processing insurance claims, and comparing renters insurance. The feature works through a built-in browser with persistent authentication — the model never sees usernames or passwords — and is backed by a separate review model to detect phishing attempts.
Confirmed
- ChatGPT Work now includes a built-in browser with persistent authentication, effectively providing a computing environment equivalent to 16GB RAM and 9 cores.
- Credentials are transmitted directly to the remote browser; the model cannot see them and no passwords are stored, ensuring login security.
- Hands-on tests show the feature can complete end-to-end tasks on the go, such as ordering dog food, canceling subscriptions, picking fitness meals, and booking haircuts.
Why it matters
- This upgrade marks a shift for AI assistants from pure information interaction toward executing complex, multi-step real-world tasks, significantly boosting their practical value in productivity scenarios.
