Step-by-Step Opportunities

Migrating to Agent Platforms

1. Evaluate needs: Use OpenAI's decision matrix for task complexity vs. required autonomy.
2. Test security: Run prompt injection simulations using built-in detection tools.
3. Start small: Deploy for single workflows (e.g., calendar briefing) before scaling.

Avoiding Pitfalls

• Speed trade-off: Complex tasks (e.g., trip planning) take 30+ minutes; schedule accordingly.
• Security layers: Always enable "user permission prompts" to prevent unauthorized actions.

Early Adopter Patterns

• Marketing teams: Use visual browser tool to auto-generate competitor slide decks in 20 minutes.
• Personal tasks: Try ingredient procurement feature for meal planning with real-time pricing.
