First things first - if you have ever wondered what agents will actually look like in 2025 - this is it. Two different agents in their newly updated - Christmas Holiday Suits lead Day 11 of 12. 🎅🏼 They unveil advanced features for ChatGPT desktop apps, including native Mac and Windows applications, enhanced data visualization, voice interaction, and broader app integration. These updates aim to improve user productivity and creativity through seamless automation and collaboration. 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 🖥️ 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗸𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝘀 The introduction of fully native Mac and Windows desktop apps ensures lightweight performance and efficiency. By minimizing the need for context-switching, these apps boost user productivity and offer a streamlined experience. 📊 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 With powerful visualization tools, ChatGPT simplifies complex data tasks, enabling users to analyze and interpret data more effectively from within their applications. 🔗 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 ChatGPT now seamlessly interacts with a variety of tools like Warp, Xcode, Apple Notes, Notion, and Quip. This connectivity streamlines workflows and automates tasks with user permissions, making processes smoother and more intuitive. 🎤 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲 The launch of interactive voice features allows users to engage naturally with ChatGPT. This is particularly advantageous for creative tasks, enabling spoken commands and feedback for more dynamic interactions. 🎄 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆-𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 Holiday-themed coding and writing examples demonstrate the app's creative capabilities, inspiring users to explore festive use cases and boost engagement during the holiday season. 🤝 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗱-𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Collaboration with third-party app teams highlights OpenAI’s commitment to continuously improving functionality and ensuring robust, integrated solutions for users. 🚀 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 All these features are now live, allowing desktop users to instantly upgrade their productivity and explore the enhanced capabilities.

With 2024 not being over yet, the last one to public spark the conversation about the AI agents replacing humans discussion came from OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar, when she said that: “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 $2000/𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗔𝗜 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 "𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁" 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗣𝗵𝗗-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.” What is your take on that?

Think of your company and the various departments (Sales, Marketing, BackOffice, Finance, Legal,..) There are cognitive tasks 🧠 inside each department that will be offloaded to agents eventually. Here is the big IF for me and how to co-exist and actually thrive with AI agents 💪🏼+🦾 .: 𝗜𝗙 - you prepare today, to start to preparation for the agents, you will stay with the company 𝗜𝗙 - you understand what automation is and what it has to do with core business processes 𝗜𝗙 - you are able to translate business logic / processes and tasks to the actual work that is done 𝗜𝗙 - you are open to have an AI agent per department and train this agent actively 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆, 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 - 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. Within the context of a department, agents will build the foundation of the company from a business processes perspective - they will maintain the status quo. Humans are their consciously creative counterpart, the social connection part, the part that lives and breathes values and the part that people really want to interact with, when it comes to companies. That also means that we have to unlearn most of what we have learned in a corporate setup, which (for the most part) is unnatural to begin with and it will be easiest to give up again. There is more to it - let's bring the different topics to the comment section. ⬇️

It's been two weeks, since Microsoft updated their agent line-up during the Ignite 2024 event and frankly, what looked interesting at a first glance, sill needs to hold water on a full workday to workday basis, especially since most of use are using Microsoft apps one way or another (unless you're sitting in the Google camp). We are preparing ourselves to roll-out the first agents out of their beta states soon for a small handful of tasks - while still maintaining all the other agents that have been introduced and implemented since.

This is an update on a topic that has been issued on the 6th of August 2023. It really shows how far we are already into the agents topic, when it comes to replacing humans in general for cognitive remote tasks, that are delivered through applications (API really) and means of digital communication.
