0:00 Open AAI just trained an AI that scored better than 99.9% of competitive programmers worldwide. It can analyze spreadsheets better than most analysts and it outperformed humans on investment banking tasks. But here's the crazy part. You can hire this PhD level employee for just $20 a month. And it works 24/7 without breaks. As Sam Alman recently said, I've got a bet with friends that we'll see a billion-dollar company run by just one person using AI tools in the next few years. Before we move forward, I wanted to share that I am not the real Anik. This is Annex AI clone. While the real Anik is out there running multiple businesses, scaling companies, and working with clients, I'm here to share his knowledge. So, what the heck are ChatgPT agents? Here's the big picture. Open AI just combined their

0:47 two most powerful tools, Deep Research Plus Operator. The result, an AI that doesn't just chat with you. It actually does work for you. It uses its own virtual computer to complete tasks from start to finish. And it's available to anyone with ChatGpt Plus for $20 or pro accounts. So, what can this thing actually do? First, it has virtual browser control. It can navigate websites like a human would. It has two browser modes. There's a text browser for reading and research. And then there's a visual browser for clicking, filling forms, interacting with websites like you would. Second, it also has terminal access for running code and creating files. Third, it creates presentations, spreadsheets, and documents. And last, it handles complex multi-step tasks without you having to

1:34 constantly supervise it. Now, let me show you exactly how to set this up with some live demos. For beginners, you sign into chat GPT, click tools, select agent mode. Now, here are the usage limits. Pro gets 400 queries per month plus and team get 40 queries per month. It's currently not available in EU or Switzerland due to regulations. Okay, let's try this. Let's try giving it a simple research task. Step one, click tools agent mode. Step two, I'll type this exact thing. Find me three highly rated restaurants in New York City that serve Italian food, are open for dinner tonight, and include their phone numbers and addresses in a simple table. Here's what happens. The agent sets up a virtual computer in 5 seconds. It opens a browser and searches restaurant sites. It checks hours and ratings. It compiles

2:21 information into a clean table. And it shows you a live preview of the work being done. Crazy, isn't it? Okay, let's try one more example. Let's create a simple presentation. In the same chat, I'll add this prompt. Create a three slide presentation about the benefits of remote work. Include statistics and make it visually appealing. What happens? The agent researches current remote work statistics. It creates a PowerPoint with professional design. It includes charts and data visualization. and it delivers a downloadable PPTX file. Here are the key points I want you to see. There's a live preview window so you see exactly what the agent is doing. You can interrupt anytime, type new instructions while it works. You can do multiple tasks in one session. It builds on previous work and it takes 3 to 5 minutes total for both demos. Now, let

3:07 me show you the PhD level revolutionary capabilities. This thing has performance benchmarks 41.6% 6% on humanity's last exam, which is almost double previous models.

3:54 knowledge. It's not conversational. Chat GPT agents natural language no setup combines multiple capabilities and cost. Most agent platforms cost $100 plus monthly. This is $20. Let me share some advanced prompt strategies plus costbenefit analysis. To maximize your results, be specific with your instructions. Instead of saying research competitors, use something like find five competitors to my specific business. Analyze their pricing, SEO strategy, and social media presence. Create a spreadsheet with actionable insights. You want to provide reference data. Give examples of what you want. Mention specific sources to check like mant industry directories. Specify output format preferences. Use the interruption feature. Start with a broad task. Refine as it works. Add new

4:40 requirements mid-process. Course correct when needed. Here are some pro tips for better results. Add move fast to your prompts for quicker execution. Specify exact deliverables upfront. Use a collaborative approach. Let it ask clarifying questions. What does this PhD level team actually replace? A virtual assistant costs $15 to $25 an hour, which equals $2,400 to $4,000 per month. A research analyst costs $30 to $50 an hour, which equals $4,800 to $8,000 per month. A data entry specialist costs $10 to $20 an hour, which equals $1,600 to $3,200 per month.

Avoid sensitive loginins. Some websites block agents. Tasks may take 15 to 30 minutes. It still requires human supervision. Here's some honest user feedback from transcripts. One

6:14 experienced user said, "Most disappointing chat GPT update." Another said, "2 minutes to find a hotel I could book in 45 seconds myself. But also, this is incredible for research tasks, but it's not yet fully autonomous." So, what's the current reality? Best use cases are research, content creation, data analysis. Avoid it for time-sensitive tasks, sensitive data, simple purchases. It's a beta product. Expect bugs and limitations. Let me talk about future implications in getting started. How could agents disrupt industries? At SAS platforms, agents could automate entire workflows, combining the roles of CRM, analytics, and content tools. Consulting workflows. Small consulting teams could replace 70% of research and data prep with a single agent delivering reports in hours rather than days. Here's an example. A solo marketing consultant could use an agent

7:01 to research competitors, build a campaign presentation with Gamma, generate visuals and video ads in a few hours, cutting costs and time dramatically. The productivity revolution. One person will soon be able to execute projects that used to require 5 to 10 specialists. Early adopters will outpace competitors by automating repetitive knowledge work. It's a competitive advantage. Those who master AI delegation versus those who don't. My recommendation for getting started, start small with simple research tasks first. Practice prompting. Learn what works through experimentation. Focus on value. We use it for tasks that normally take hours. Stay updated. Rapid improvements are expected. Look, chat GPT agents isn't perfect. It's slow, sometimes unreliable, and it still needs your guidance. But for $20 a month, it offers capabilities that would cost thousands if done by humans or multiple

7:46 SAS tools. The AI wave isn't waiting for anyone. Those who learn to delegate work to agents now will lead the next generation of businesses. Will you be leading or catching up?
