OpenAI just launched something groundbreaking: Operator.
(This could change how we think about AI agents forever.)
2025 was supposed to be the “year of AI agents.” OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, hinted at it. And now it’s happening.
Here’s the big news:
Operator is an AI that can independently complete tasks online, like booking travel, making reservations, and even shopping.
It uses GPT-4o’s vision + reasoning to navigate websites just like you would (buttons, forms, menus—no fancy APIs needed).
Why this matters:
AI Agents are leveling up.
This isn’t Siri or Alexa setting reminders. Operator does things—it’s like having a personal assistant in your browser.
Trust is built in.
Before Operator finalizes any task, it asks for your confirmation.
Safety first.
Banking tasks? Sensitive sites? Operator requires your supervision.
It’s starting as a $200 Pro feature in the U.S., but OpenAI says it’s expanding to more plans and countries soon.
This might just be OpenAI’s boldest step into the world of autonomous AI yet.
What’s the first task you’d let an AI agent like Operator handle for you?
