OPENAI on Thursday introduced an artificial intelligence programme called “Operator” that can tend to online tasks such as ordering items or filling out forms.
Operator can look up web pages and interact with them by typing, clicking, or scrolling the way a person might, according to OpenAI.
“Operator can be asked to handle a wide variety of repetitive browser tasks such as filling out forms, ordering groceries, and even creating memes,” OpenAI said in an online post.
“The ability to use the same interfaces and tools that humans interact with on a daily basis broadens the utility of AI, helping people save time on everyday tasks while opening up new engagement opportunities for businesses.
An AI “agent,” the latest Silicon Valley trend, is a digital helper that is supposed to sense surroundings, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals.
Google in December announced agent capabilities with the launch of Gemini 2.0, its most advanced artificial intelligence model to date.
AI race rival Anthropic two months earlier added a “computer use” feature to its Claude frontier AI model in an experimental public beta phase.
“Developers can direct Claude to use computers the way people do—by looking at a screen, moving a cursor, clicking buttons, and typing text,” Anthropic said in a post at the time, cautioning that it was a work in progress.
OpenAI described Operator as one of its first AI agents capable of doing work for people independently, designed to complete tasks it is given.
