OpenAI Operator is 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 23 January 2025.[4] It was released as a limited-access research preview to 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 is scheduled to shut down by 31 August 2025.[6]
Performance and limitations
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 has not yet reached human-level accuracy and faces limitations with intricate user interfaces and extended workflows.[3]
Safety and privacy
OpenAI emphasizes privacy and safety measures within Operator, including stringent data protection protocols and built-in safety checks designed to prevent unauthorized sensitive actions or information misuse.[3]
Availability
Initially, Operator is 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]
