OpenAI enters the agent era
Product AnnouncementLaunched Operator, an AI agent that can autonomously browse the web and execute multi-step tasks on behalf of users — OpenAI's first production AI agent product, initially available to Pro subscribers in the US.
Operator takes a goal from the user and autonomously navigates websites, fills forms, clicks buttons, and completes multi-step web tasks.
Built on a specialized model trained to interact with GUIs, understanding screen layouts, buttons, forms, and navigation flows.
Hands control back to the user for sensitive actions (payments, passwords, login credentials). Won't execute certain categories of actions autonomously.
Initially US-only, Pro subscribers only — cautious deployment.
