With Operator, users can delegate a wide range of mundane browser tasks, such as filling out forms, ordering groceries, and even creating memes. The AI uses familiar interfaces and tools that humans interact with daily, which broadens its utility and helps save valuable time.
For now, Operator is available to Pro users in the U.S. via https://operator.chatgpt.com. This limited rollout will help OpenAI gather user feedback and improve the system over time. OpenAI plans to extend Operator’s capabilities to Plus, Team, and Enterprise members shortly.
