About OpenAI Operator

Operator is OpenAI's autonomous browser agent, designed to take over a cloud-hosted web browser to complete tasks that normally require clicking through websites — booking flights, ordering food, filling out forms, managing listings, and more. Powered by the Computer-Using Agent (CUA) model, it watches the screen, reasons about what to do, and takes actions, handing back to you for logins, payments, or sensitive steps. It represents OpenAI's push into agentic, action-taking AI beyond pure conversation.

Our Verdict
