OpenAI just added something cool to ChatGPT: Operator. It is a browser agent that can surf the web and do tasks for you online. It behaves like an assistant! you tell it what to do, like order groceries or book tickets for a concert, and it will do it like a human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In short, here’s how it works: When you prompt something, ‘Operator<\/a>‘ opens a new browser window inside the ChatGPT interface and it starts clicking and typing to perform the task. What’s beneath is a new model called CUA (Computer-Using Agent) that has GPT-4o’s vision and reasoning capabilities<\/a>. It can understand the browser by “seeing” the screenshots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company has also partnered with popular websites like DoorDash, Instacart, OpenTable, Priceline, StubHub, Thumbtack, and Uber to make things easy for most common tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While there are many things the Operator can do for you, it’s better to use it for specific scenarios where it will be really beneficial, in terms of saving you a lot of time.
