How the agent did it
- Collect benchmark images from the specified announcement and produce an initially incorrect collage.
- Restart with a Canva requirement, pausing for the human to solve a CAPTCHA and sign in.
- Upload the images, attempt the layout and add Python-rendered highlights.
Bexruz Tuychiev asked ChatGPT agent to collect benchmark charts from OpenAI's announcement and arrange them in a collage, highlighting the agent's result columns. The first attempt returned a vertical image with filled red shapes and material from other websites. It also ignored the connected Canva account.
He restarted with a stricter source constraint and an explicit Canva instruction. The run stopped for a CAPTCHA and a Canva login, both handled by the author. Once inside the editor, the agent tried drawing the charts instead of importing them. Tuychiev corrected that interpretation and asked for a 16:9 arrangement of the actual images.
The eventual design still needed manual resizing because its title obscured part of the collage. The highlighting had been drawn into images with Python and uploaded, so the rectangles were not separately editable Canva objects. The author reports spending more than 75 minutes across the attempts. This is a documented failure of layout control, source discipline and editability, with a partly usable artifact after human repairs. It does not establish that connecting a design application makes an agent proficient with its interface.

It used a vertical arrangement, inappropriate filled highlights and images from outside the required source page.
Were the final highlights editable in Canva?
No. The agent drew them in Python and uploaded modified images, so they were not separate Canva objects.
Who completed the authentication steps?
Tuychiev took over for the CAPTCHA and Canva login.
