🖥️ OpenAI gives ChatGPT a pc

Good morning, AI enthusiasts. OpenAI just gave ChatGPT its own computer — and the result’s a benchmark-crushing agent that may actually handle real work.

With agent combining quite a lot of tools to autonomously browse, code, create presentations, and more inside its own virtual workspace, the promise of 2025’s agentic revolution could have just taken a large practical step forward.

Reminder: Our next workshop is today at 4 PM EST — attend and learn the best way to use Perplexity Comet (and other alternatives) to automate your browsing experience. RSVP here.

In today’s AI rundown:

• OpenAI gives ChatGPT a pc

• Reflection AI’s Asimov agent for coding comprehension

• Automate your documentation workflow with Gemini CLI

• OpenAI beats all but one human in coding competition

• 4 latest AI tools & 4 job opportunities

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

OPENAI

🤖 OpenAI gives ChatGPT a pc

The Rundown: OpenAI just rolled out ChatGPT Agent, a serious upgrade that permits the AI to manage its own virtual computer to tackle complex workflows and agentic tasks, while setting latest highs across benchmarks.

The main points:

• Agent merges tools like Operator and Deep Research right into a single system that may autonomously switch between browsing, coding, and document creation.

• OpenAI’s livestream showcased capabilities like booking travel, constructing presentations, shopping, making a product, and establishing an order.

• Agent may connect with apps like Gmail and GitHub, access APIs, and handle multiple tasks, permissions, and interruptions from the user.

• It shows SOTA performance across Humanity’s Last Exam (41.6%), Frontier Math, and quite a lot of real-world task benchmarks.

• OAI classified Agent as “high capability” for biological risks, enacting the strictest safety protocols, including live monitoring and user approvals.

Why it matters: OpenAI is following the trail of agents like Manus, giving ChatGPT its own computer to drive a large boost in agentic capabilities. While Operator was limited in real-world use cases at launch, Agent looks to mix all of AI’s strongest features — giving the primary glimpse of where the agentic end game is heading.

TOGETHER WITH CONVEYOR

🛠️ AI was made for this

The Rundown: It’s 2025 — security questionnaires should complete themselves, your customers should access your Trust Center immediately, and your content library should not be a maintenance burden. Conveyor’s Customer Trust platform delivers exactly that with 95%+ accuracy.

Automate all of your busywork so you’ll be able to:

• Spend 90% less time answering security questionnaires and RFPs, even in tricky portals

• Skip knowledge maintenance — your content library stays current by itself

• Give your customers quick AI answers in your Trust Center

• Fully automate admin and collaboration tasks across teams and tools

Learn more and put Conveyor to work.

REFLECTION AI

⚙️ Reflection AI’s Asimov agent for coding comprehension

The Rundown: Reflection AI, founded by ex-Google DeepMind researchers, just launched Asimov — an autonomous agent built to deeply understand codebases, business logic, and team knowledge that claims top performance over SOTA rivals.

The main points:

• Asimov ingests not only code, but in addition architecture docs, emails, Slack threads, and project reports to construct a persistent knowledge base for engineering teams.

• “Asimov Memories” let teams store and update tribal knowledge with natural language prompts, protected by role-based access controls.

• Asimov beat Claude Code with 82% developer preference in blind tests, using multiple “retriever” agents that feed findings to a central reasoning system.

• Reflection AI was founded by Misha Laskin and Ioannis Antonoglou, who previously worked on Gemini and AlphaGo at Google DeepMind.

Why it matters: Most coding assistants concentrate on generating code, but Reflection is betting that understanding existing codebases matters greater than writing latest ones. Asimov’s deeper dive and management of information bases could be the start of AI agents as institutional memory — shifting how software is maintained and evolved.

AI TRAINING

⚙️ Automate your documentation workflow with Gemini CLI

The Rundown: On this tutorial, you’ll learn the best way to use Google’s latest command-line AI tool that robotically generates comprehensive README files and project documentation by analyzing your entire codebase free of charge.

Step-by-step:

1. Install it by typing npm install -g @google/gemini-cli in your terminal

2. Go to your required folder via shell commands (“cd [path]”) and invoke the agent by typing gemini

3. Generate your README by asking: “Create a comprehensive README.md with installation, usage, and examples.”

4. Refine the documentation: “Add contributing guidelines and update the API documentation section.”

Pro tip: We just did a full workshop where you’ll be able to see the best way to install, use, and automate workflows with Gemini CLI here.

AI & CODING

🥈 OpenAI beats all but one human in coding competition

The Rundown: OpenAI’s autonomous coding agent just placed second on the AtCoder World Tour Finals in Tokyo, with Polish (human) coder Psyho named the champion after a 10-hour showdown.

The main points:

• Contestants faced complex optimization puzzles requiring them to guide digital robots through mazes while minimizing moves.

• Psyho clinched victory with a 9.5% margin after surviving on just 10 hours of sleep over three days, later posting “Humanity has prevailed (for now!).”

• The event marked the primary time an AI model competed fully autonomously without human help against elite coders in a live programming final.

• Sakana AI tested their ALE-Agent alongside the official competition, achieving results that will have placed fifth overall.

Why it matters: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously said the corporate believed its models could be the perfect competitive programmers on this planet by the tip of the yr, and this result looks to have them right heading in the right direction. While Psyho took the crown, this is probably going humanity’s last gold medal in competitive programming over AI.
