The AI agent is powered by Computer-Using Agent (CUA), a model combining GPT-4’s vision capabilities with advanced reasoning through reinforcement learning.

As an example of how the tech could be used to complete everyday tasks, Altman and a group of OpenAI researchers uploaded an image of a shopping list to Operator, then asked it to

The agent will be available first in the US to subscribers of ChatGPT Pro.

The model underpinning Operator is a Computer-Using Agent (CUA) that combines GPT-4o's vision mode to "see" what's on the user's screen through screenshots with graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that enable Operator to interact with the screen (clicking buttons, typing, scrolling, etc.).

In a video, an OpenAI employee demonstrates the tool by making it fetch a pasta recipe from the Allrecipes website and order the necessary ingredients through Instacart. Another video shows how the tool can be used to plan trips using Priceline. Operator can also tap into services like DoorDash, OpenTable, StubHub, Thumbtack, and Uber.

Operator, OpenAI's latest creation, promises to transform the way we interact with digital technology. This AI agent, capable of performing concrete tasks on a computer, marks a turning point in

OpenAI has announced 'Operator,' an AI agent designed to perform web-based tasks autonomously using its own browser. Currently available as a research preview for Pro users in the United States, the tool aims to automate everyday activities such as filling out forms,
