ChatGPT's Agent Mode Brings Autonomous Tasks, But Not HIPAA-Compliance
ChatGPT's latest feature, Agent Mode, allows the AI to perform autonomous tasks, but it's not HIPAA-compliant. Users must review outputs carefully before using them professionally. The tool, launched on July 17, 2025, is available to users on various plans, including Plus, Pro, and Team, as well as Enterprise and Edu.
Agent Mode can browse websites, analyze files, retrieve data from emails or iCloud documents, and execute tasks like filling forms and editing spreadsheets. It can run tasks on a schedule and is useful for physicians and daily life tasks like planning travel itineraries and analyzing real estate investments.
To enable Agent Mode, users need to be on a Pro, Plus, or Team plan. They should open any chat, click the 'Tools' dropdown, select 'Agent mode', type a task, and hit Enter. For better prompts, users can download the Complete ChatGPT Cheat Sheet.
Privacy and safety guidelines include not inputting protected health information (PHI), avoiding uploading screenshots with patient names or identifiers, and controlling the virtual browser for sensitive info. Agent Mode can take action, not just think, by researching real websites and pulling info from tools like email or iCloud docs. It can fill out forms and edit spreadsheets without user intervention, but users stay in full control.
Agent Mode is a powerful tool for autonomous task execution. However, it's not HIPAA-compliant, and users must review outputs carefully.
