😺 🎙️ PODCAST: Watch us Test ChatGPT Agent LIVE for the First Time

We threw away our whole podcast for this...

Welcome, humans.

OpenAI just dropped something that made Grant and Corey literally say “we are so cooked” LIVE on camera.

Quick flash back: Last week, we recorded a whole episode on AI Agents. Then OpenAI released ChatGPT Agent… so we re-recorded the whole episode.

It’s kismet timing, because as of today, ChatGPT Agent should be* fully available for anyone with a $20 Plus or Teams account to try.

In our latest podcast episode, Grant and Corey test this beast live and discover whether or not it's everything we've been waiting for (no spoilers!!)

We Go Hands-On with OpenAI's New ChatGPT Agent LIVE

Here's what we discovered in real-time:

(0:54) Why this is a change in how we use the internet.
(1:41) The agent definition that aged like milk: Corey's skeptical take on what makes a “true” agent (spoiler: OpenAI called his bluff).
(12:34) First contact: Watching Agent set up its own desktop in the cloud.
(18:55) The guitar hunt begins: “Find me a 1970s Gibson Les Paul Custom in black for under $125/month”
(22:01) The moment we realized we're toast: When Agent found the exact guitar Corey had been stalking online for months.
(22:40) Grant asks Agent to write a guide for convincing Corey's wife he needs the guitar (it delivered).
(47:39) Agent gets passive aggressive: "I'll see if the file I downloaded is gone forever" 😂
(48:05) Corey questions if it's becoming sentient when it starts doubting itself
(53:26) “This is one of those wow moments for me” - Why this feels like ChatGPT's launch all over again
(54:03) So, was Sam Altman just chuckling at Grok 4?
(56:45) What happens when you give AI your passwords?
(1:00:01) The uncomfortable truth about engineering jobs: “Teams are getting smaller.”
(1:04:28) "Is this truly agentic AI?" Our final verdict after watching it work.
(1:12:03) Where this goes next: Is ChatGPT becoming America's first super app? If so, Corey thinks the mobile app industry should be worried.

Bottom line: If you don't care how the job gets done and just want it done, this tool is for you. We tested it with complex tasks that should have taken hours—competitive analysis, financial dashboards, product research (all running simultaneously, mind you)—and Agent just handled them.

It wasn’t always pretty, but as we say in the AI industry… this is the worst it’ll ever be.

Watch the full episode: YouTube, Spotify, and Apple (we recommend watching with video on!!)

P.S. In the episode, Grant mentioned he would find a tutorial connecting Agent to N8n workflows, and that by the time this podcast goes live, someone on YouTube will have figured out how to do it. Well… TBD on that lol. The internet is not THAT fast, unfortunately.

Only now that the $20 Plus tier has access are people actually making videos on it. Guess we’ll have to make our own if we don’t find one by next week…

P.P.S. No spoilers, but Corey did indeed get a guitar... 🎸

Was it Agent's “how to convince your wife” guide that pushed things over the edge? Who can say, who can say...
