What can Operator do?
Users can ask Operator to carry out a range of repetitive browser tasks such as filling out forms, ordering groceries and even creating memes, OpenAI said in a blog post.
Some who have access shared on social media that they tried using the agent to order dinner ingredients based on pictures and recipes, schedule a barber appointment by checking Google calendar availability, plan a trip by parsing recommendations on Reddit that would be within budget, among other tasks.
OpenAI is collaborating with firms including food delivery app DoorDash, ecommerce site eBay, grocery delivery platform Instacart, taxi aggregator Uber, sports and entertainment ticket booking app StubHub to ensure conformity with their terms of service agreements.
