Open AI Tasks - The Agentic AI Trojan Horse

OpenAI has recently introduced a new Tasks feature, making agentic AI more accessible than ever.

If you've been following AI trends, you'll know that "agentic systems" are the hot topic right now. To understand the broader context, see our piece on the history of AI language models. Yet, despite the buzz, lots of people—including frequent AI users—find the process of setting one up quite intimidating. But with this new development, OpenAI has removed a lot of that complexity.

So what?

In essence, we can now leverage agents to handle work tasks smarter, faster, and more efficiently— doing some of the heavy lifting while we're away. Imagine starting your day with projects prepped, responses queued, and work already in motion, all thanks to an AI agent working behind the scenes.

In this video, I introduce OpenAI's Tasks feature and explore a few practical use cases, showing how anyone can get started. If you want to go deeper, explore our AI adoption services to see how we help teams put these tools into practice.
