OpenAI has officially launched its first AI agent: Operator
It works within a web browser to complete tasks for you and is now available as a limited research preview.
The operator can make a dinner reservation, fill out a form, and complete other web tasks
OpenAI is always looking for the next big thing to add to ChatGPT, and after months of rumors, including a report earlier this week teasing a launch, the tech giant’s first AI agent is here. Operator is designed to complete web tasks for you, all with the touch of a button.
Basically, the operator is a computer-utilized agent (CUA) that uses GPT-4o’s visual abilities to navigate and search the web. This means it can understand the context of what you search for and, thanks to its multimodality, understands what you see while you search. It is available now as a research preview for ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the United States.
