This morning, something unexpected (and very exciting) happened…

Screenshot of the ChatGPT mobile interface showing available tools: Agent mode, Deep research, Create image, Web search, and Add files. The top of the screen displays recent photo thumbnails, including an image of a lion and a calendar.

If you’re using it for SEO or accessibility on your website or blog, you could add a little context:

I opened the ChatGPT app on my phone, something I don’t normally do, and suddenly saw a new little toggle I’ve been waiting on for ages:Agent Mode. 🤯

Now, to be clear; I already know what AI agents are.I’ve been building them in automation tools like n8n (don’t ask me how to pronounce it 🙃) for months now, using them to support client workflows, lead gen, onboarding, and smart automations.

But to have Agent Mode natively inside ChatGPT?

Game. Changer.

I’ve been waiting for this feature to roll out, and even though it’s only on mobile right now (come on, desktop version, show yourself!), it’s given me so many ideas, for both myself and the businesses we train at ElevAIte.

👉 I recorded a quick video to capture my reaction and show you what it can do.

🧠 So, What Is Agent Mode?

Agent Mode lets you create a custom AI assistant inside ChatGPT - one that doesn’t just chat with you, but can actually take action on your behalf.

With the right setup, it can:

Send emails
Manage documents or data
Search the web
Run automations using tools like Zapier or Make
Trigger workflows
Write + store content
And act as a mini virtual assistant, fully tailored to your business

Basically: it’s like giving ChatGPT a to-do list and permission to get it done.

⚙️ Why This Matters for Business Owners

At ElevAIte, we train SMEs, founders, and small teams to actually use AI in real-life business workflows - not just play with chatbots.

We’re already building multi-step AI agents for:

Lead qualification
Content repurposing
Policy writing
Recruitment and onboarding
Email campaigns
Report generation

But the key challenge has always been accessibility.

Until now, building agents has meant stitching together platforms like Make, Notion, Google Sheets, and APIs.

Which we love - but it’s not for everyone.

Agent Mode in ChatGPT lowers the barrier to entry.

You don’t need to be a developer or build from scratch.

You just need a clear outcome and a bit of guidance.
