“OpenAI said its ‘Operator’ agent went live for some users on Thursday, creating the ability for artificial intelligence to automate tasks such as buying groceries and filing expense reports.
Operator is part of a new generation of AI agents that can act on behalf of users. It works by accessing the internet through its own browser and can click, scroll and type just as a person would. Its potential uses include making restaurant reservations and moving corporate data from one location to another.
Many tech companies besides OpenAI have announced the development of similar capabilities.”
