OpenAI Operator

OpenAI Operator is an autonomous web-browsing AI agent from OpenAI that navigates websites, fills out forms, clicks buttons, and completes multi-step tasks on the internet on your behalf. It is the first major consumer-facing AI agent for web tasks.

• Web navigation — Autonomously browses websites, scrolls, clicks, and navigates multi-page flows
• Form filling — Completes online forms, applications, and checkout processes
• Multi-step tasks — Chains together actions across multiple websites to complete complex requests
• Visual observation — You watch the agent work in a live browser view, maintaining transparency
• Safety confirmations — Asks for permission before entering credentials, making purchases, or submitting sensitive information

Professionals use Operator to handle tedious web-based workflows — researching products across sites, filling out repetitive applications, booking reservations, and gathering information from multiple sources. It excels at tasks that are straightforward but time-consuming.

Operator represents the first wave of AI agents that interact with the web as a human would. Access it through ChatGPT.
