OpenAI has introduced a new artificial intelligence tool called Operator, designed to perform tasks. The agent can book flights, shop, and complete online purchases on behalf of users. Initially, it is available as a "research preview" to a limited number of U.S. users paying for ChatGPT Pro. OpenAI plans to refine the tool based on user feedback and expand access to additional customers over time. OpenAI has implemented safeguards, requiring user approval for actions involving transactions and restricting sensitive tasks like banking. The operator collaborates with companies like Instacart, OpenTable, Uber, and StubHub to ensure seamless integration.
