Use ChatGPT Edu Agents

ChatGPT Agents can perform complex, multi-step tasks, not only by researching and reasoning, but by taking actions on your behalf. Think of Agents as virtual assistants that can work with your files, navigate websites, connect to external data sources, and even fill out forms on your behalf while remaining under your control.

Get Started

To create an Agent:

1. Click the plus sign (+) in the chat field and select Agent Mode. Note: Please refer to OpenAI’s Usage Limits before exploring agent mode.
2. Enter a prompt outlining what you would like ChatGPT Edu to automate.

Best practices for data safety and reducing privacy risks

• Avoid typing passwords or private info directly in messages; use takeover mode for sensitive inputs.
• Enable only the connectors needed for the current task.
• Consider the data sensitivity of sites you log into via the agent.
• Avoid vague, open-ended prompts like “Check my email and handle everything.”
• Stop tasks immediately if something seems suspicious.
• Clear remote browser data after sensitive sessions.
• Regularly review and manage connector permissions in your settings.
