The people at OpenAI continue to add new features to their ChatGPT at an impressive speed. The latest addition is a feature they call Operator, and it’s an AI agent that can perform tasks on your behalf.
ChatGPT Operator
The “Operator” is a personal AI assistant that can perform tasks on the web using a browser, GPT-4o’s vision capabilities, and advanced reasoning through reinforcement learning. This gives it the power to interpret screenshots and perform actions such as typing, clicking, and scrolling.
It can interact directly with web pages to perform a wide range of tasks, from gathering information to making restaurant reservations. It can book trips, purchase groceries, add new shows to your library, and even post to social media.
It also has task scheduling and can work with data if you need help with expense reports and other administrative tasks, making it a powerful tool suitable for business-level integration.
How do I get it?
Unfortunately, Operator is only available on the ChatGPT Pro plan in the United States, which carries a subscription fee of $200 per month. If you’re on that plan, you can access it from the sidebar, where you can access past conversations and custom GPTs.
For those not on the Pro plan, OpenAI plans to expand access to other user tiers, including Plus, Team, and Enterprise users, in the future.
Is it safe and secure?
Operator has built-in features to make it safe and secure to use. Measures include requesting confirmation before performing irreversible actions, seeking user intervention, and asking for help when handling sensitive information.
Currently, the Operator does not handle banking transactions or job application decisions, and you may notice other limits as well while using it. These limitations may also change over time.
