Got access to ChatGPT Agent Mode and tested it against other AI Agents, Genspark and Manus for real business use cases. Here's the what I found. First, I hate the examples used by AI Agent live demos because they're so simplistic that it's faster for you to do them manually or unrealistic for most people...and why is it always booking travel??? I tested these three AI Agents for two business problems. One web based and the other using the data connectors. Desired Outcome: Can the agent do task either faster than doing ir manually OR can multiple agents be run at the same time and get accurate (or close enough) so the user can do other things. Client business problem #1 A municipal client visits other municipal websites to find job information to compare roles and salary. They do this bi-weekly/monthly. AI Agent Task: Visit a municipal website, find all posted jobs and extract the job title, job description and salary. Put into a spreadsheet and create a presentation. NOTE: We tried using typical web scrapers but how job posting are set up are so different based on website CMS and if they are using HRIS software. Client business problem #2 A construction client regularly compares supplier invoice statements against their internal invoice list contain hundreds of invoices. Currently being done manually. Important because any discrepancies can lead to hundreds of thousands of wasted dollars in duplicate payments or late fees. We shifted this task to using o3 but wanted to test a faster method. AI Agent Task: Leverage the Agents their connector to Google Drive, compare an attached internal invoice lists against four PDF supplier invoice statements and check for discrepancies. Create a report based on an example provided. RESULTS Problem 1 ChatGPT Agent Mode: - Provided the best and most accurate results. Followed the instructions the cleanest. - Spreadsheet was on point. - No additional prompting required - Presentation was the WORST and took the longest time creating it too Genspark: - Eventually completed the task but needed multiple prompting to clarify end goal. - Fast web search - Hands down the best designed and relevant presentation. Manus: - Could not complete the task even with multiple prompting (no job description or salary information) - Fast web search - Excellent designed presentation Business Problem 2 ChatGPT Agent Mode: Completed the task and provide accurate discrepancies in the report. Genspark: Couldn't find the Google Drive folder. Connector didn't work Manus: Couldn't find the Google Drive folder. Connector didn't work - I read I could only add files so maybe this task was beyond it's capabilities? Note on these test: It's easy to find use cases that each Agent will succeed or fail in so you have to test on your intended to use than just take my results or any other results as final review. I've used Genspark and Manus for other business cases and they performed well. #aiagent #aibusiness #aibusinesstools #aiagents #openaiagents @Genspark.ai @Manus AI - @karl.yeh_ai_explorer
