OpenAI's Operator can surf the web for you


OpenAI has begun previewing a new tool called Operator that can navigate within a web browser.

“CUA is trained to interact with graphical user interfaces (GUIs) — the buttons, menus, and text fields people see on a screen — just as humans do,” says OpenAI of the model. Operator has the ability to “break tasks into multi-step plans and adaptively self-correct when challenges arise.” According to OpenAI, that capability represents the next stage in AI development. As with past research previews, OpenAI warns that Operator is “still early and has limitations,” and that it won’t “perform reliably in all scenarios just yet.” For instance, depending on the complexity of the task and interface involved, the agent greatly benefits from the user taking a few extra moments to write a more detailed prompt.
