Agent levels

Every app here is labelled by how much it does on its own. The level is a description, not a quality score.

Assistant

An assistant answers and suggests but doesn’t carry out the task itself.

45 apps

Plans multi-step tasks

The app works out and carries out a task in several steps inside the app, and adjusts when you change a constraint.

15 apps

Acts on your behalf

The app takes actions in other services or the real world for you, such as booking, buying, sending a message or adding to your calendar.
