OpenAI has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) agent designed to perform various online tasks on behalf of users. The product is known as Operator and “using your own browser, you can view a page web and interact with it by writing, doing click and moving”, according to the startup.
Operator is one of the firm’s first AI assistants focused on the independent execution of multiple tasks. It is designed to automate repetitive activities in any browser. You can fill out forms, order groceries, manage service reservations, or schedule virtual meetings with a single touch.
The resource is available in a “research preview version,” which implies limitations in its functionality and processing capacity. The organization led by Sam Altman promises that Your product will evolve “based on feedback” received.
“Operator transforms AI from a passive tool to an active resource in the digital ecosystem. Its ability to use the same interfaces that humans interact with daily expands the usefulness of AI, helping people save time on everyday tasks,” according to OpenAI.
The assistant seeks to position itself as an ally of the public and private sectors. The company is collaborating with corporations such as DoorDash, Instacart, OpenTable, Priceline, StubHub, Thumbtack and Uber to satisfy the needs of end customers, “respecting established standards.” He adds that he is “deeply exploring use cases” with authorities in the city of Stockton, California, to streamline administrative processes.
How does OpenAI’s new AI work?
The operation of Operator is based on the AI model Computer-Using Agent (CUA) that combines the vision and reasoning capabilities of GPT-4o using a reinforcement learning technique. This means that CUA is able to interact with the buttons, menus and text fields that people see on a screen, without the need to integrate custom APIs.
The developers note that the assistant uses “its reasoning abilities to self-correct.” When it can’t accomplish a task, it returns control to the user to ensure a smooth, collaborative experience. The system is designed to protect confidential information and avoid sharing sensitive credentials or data with sites web. OpenAI emphasizes that Operator “rejects harmful requests and blocks disallowed content.”

They will receive proactive alerts when specific actions are required that involve sensitive information, such as access codes and data to process payments. The program allows you to configure specific instructions for sites web concrete.
The new AI is only available to ChatGPT Pro plan subscribers in the United States. OpenAI plans to expand its reach to users in other countries and offer it in its memberships Plus, team and Enterprise in the future.
