Why this score

4:38The host shows a generated 19-slide presentation and says the agent searched 87 websites and ran for 13:33, which supports high substance and on-screen evidence (raises substance and proof).
12:19Live Gmail plugin demo where the agent drafts, schedules, and shows the sent email to Emily, which is a verifiable, reproducible step that increases proof and usable material.
25:43Demo of deploying a site to Vercel with a live verscel.app link, showing end-to-end workflow (build, deploy, add domain) and boosting proof and substance.
41:01Agent drafts a reply claiming a price of "$250 million per video," an exaggerated/unverifiable income claim that raises claimInflation slightly.

Title partialtitle promises "99%" and 61 minutes; the video runs ~61:01 and covers 14 explicit capabilities, so duration delivered but the "99%" accuracy claim is unsubstantiated.

The short version

Kept by Clip'd

Riley Brown demos ChatGPT Work (the merged Codex/ChatGPT agent environment) and walks through 14 core capabilities: creating polished documents, plugins, editable blocks and diagrams, hosted sites, image editing, branching chats, voice/remote control, in-app browsing, skills, automations, spreadsheets, and multi-agent workflows. He shows real examples, a 19-slide McKenzie-style deck built from web research, Gmail/Notion integrations, inline image edits, and spinning up work sessions from your phone, and explains when to use cloud vs local modes and plugins vs skills.

What it teaches

Treat agents as tool-enabled coworkers: build a prompt that states the desired outcome, let the agent select tools (plugins/skills), and iterate over files it creates. Apply this when you need repeatable, multistep outputs (reports, sites, spreadsheets). Don't use it when legal/privacy constraints forbid granting tool
Choose cloud vs local based on persistence and access: use cloud GPT Work for scheduled automations, cross-device continuation, and phone-driven workflows; use local/Codeex when you need desktop-file control or terminal commands. Apply cloud for background tasks that must run when your machine is off. The common mistak
Separate plugins from skills: plugins are authorized app integrations (Gmail, Notion, Vercel); skills are small workflows you author and may be cloud or local. Create cloud skills for mobile/web use and local skills for desktop-only file operations. The common mistake is creating a skill in the wrong scope and expectin

Specifically, we're talking about ChatGBT work, OpenAI's new agent tool, which is like Claude Co-work, but in my opinion, much better and easier to use on mobile, web, desktop, or any other platform.0:13
It was the first time anyone made an AI chatbot accessible to the world.2:00
However, the entire world opens up to you once you understand the power of plugins.9:00
