    OpenAI Operator was an AI agent developed by OpenAI, capable of autonomously performing tasks through web browser interactions, including filling forms, placing online orders, scheduling appointments, and other repetitive browser-based tasks.[1][2] It uses OpenAI's advanced models to expand practical automation capabilities for users in daily activities.[3]

    Operator was launched on January 23, 2025.[4] It was released as a limited-access research preview to ChatGPT Pro-tier subscribers in the United States on February 1, 2025, with future plans to broaden availability.[5] Operator was deprecated after the release of ChatGPT agent, and shut down on August 31, 2025.[6]

    Performance and limitations

    [edit | edit source]

    In benchmark assessments, Operator achieved notable success, scoring 38.1% on OSWorld benchmarks (OS-level tasks) and 58.1% on WebArena benchmarks (web interactions).[7] However, it did not reach human-level accuracy and faced limitations with intricate user interfaces and extended workflows.[3]

    Safety and privacy

    Availability

    [edit | edit source]

    Initially, Operator was only available to ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the U.S., with plans for broader availability to Plus, Team, and Enterprise users in the future.[7]
