In a major leap toward smarter AI systems, OpenAI has unveiled Operator, a browser-based system capable of performing complex tasks online. Whether it’s filling out forms, ordering groceries, or creating memes, Operator is here to simplify your life. Here’s everything you need to know:

What is Operator?

Operator is a cutting-edge AI-powered system that interacts directly with web browsers. It can:

  • View and interact with web pages by typing, clicking, and scrolling.
  • Perform repetitive tasks like booking tables, ordering items, or finding event information.
  • Handle diverse tasks without requiring API integrations — it works by interpreting screenshots and interacting with graphical user interfaces (GUIs) just like a human.

Currently available as a research preview for Pro users in the US (with availability for Plus users on the horizon), Operator leverages GPT-4o’s vision capabilities combined with reinforcement learning (RL) for advanced reasoning.
