Research laptops and build a comparison table and deck
One practitioner notes that in ChatGPT's agent mode, the reviewer asked it to research the best budget laptops, compare specs, and send back a summary with a table and a presentation. The agent opened its own virtual desktop, and the reviewer watched it read laptop review articles. The research and summary were decent and the information was solid, but the presentation looked cheap and unprofessional.

Why it matters
Research is mostly gathering, cleaning and comparing. Handing that groundwork to an agent leaves the person with the part that needs judgment: deciding what the findings mean. It is one of 67 sightings filed under Research & Data on Agent Sightings (number 3 by interest), and one of 48 involving ChatGPT Agent.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into ChatGPT Agent or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Research brief: research laptops and build a comparison table and deck. Prefer primary sources, include links and confidence notes, and do not contact anyone.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
