ChatGPT creator rolling out personal assistant

OpenAI is rolling out an artificial intelligence tool that can help book flights, plan grocery orders and even complete purchases for users, joining a growing number of tech companies betting on so-called AI agents that act on a person’s behalf.

The service, called Operator, can carry out a wide range of tasks by using the internet much in the way a human would, including navigating to a website, typing and clicking buttons, OpenAI said on Thursday.
 
OpenAI introduces Operator – an AI agent that does the research for you

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, just announced Operator. It is a generative AI service that acts like an agent and performs tasks on your behalf. Using its own browser, Operator looks at a webpage and interacts with it by typing, clicking and scrolling on its own – no need for any input.

The rollout will be gradual, and the first to get it are ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the United States.

Operator can handle various repetitive browser tasks, and OpenAI claims it can fill out forms, order groceries, and even create memes. It can use the same interfaces and tools that humans interact with, and that would also help businesses, opening new engagement opportunities for them.
