Operator: OpenAI's Next Step Toward the 'Agentic' Future
Briefly

OpenAI's newly announced tool, Operator, leverages the generative AI model GPT-4o and functions within a proprietary web browser. It is designed to perform autonomous online tasks such as ordering groceries and booking tours, distinguishing itself from existing agentic AI with its Computer-Using Agent (CUA) model. The CUA enables multi-step planning and self-correction through an 'inner monologue' reasoning technique. Currently in beta, Operator is accessible to ChatGPT Pro subscribers, with plans for wider rollout to other subscription tiers, while OpenAI encourages user feedback to refine its features.
