Overview
The new software, called Operator, can navigate the internet to field tasks
Workflow
Suggested implementation: Use OpenAI Operator to navigate OpenTable and search for restaurant reservations based on user prompts. The agent opens a remote browser, locates the venue, and prepares a booking. A human must review and approve the reservation before it is finalized, ensuring control over the transaction.
Reported result
Actual outcomes are not measured in the source. In a demonstration, the agent initially failed to find the restaurant due to incorrect location settings but corrected itself based on prior instructions. Success depends on the agent's ability to navigate the site and the user's approval of the proposed booking.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Operator is a research preview limited to US ChatGPT Pro subscribers ($200/month). It cannot handle logins, payments, or CAPTCHAs autonomously. Users must provide credentials and approve actions. The agent may make errors in navigation or data entry, requiring human supervision to prevent incorrect bookings.
Try it
Act as a user testing OpenAI Operator for restaurant reservations. 1. Provide the restaurant name, location, date, time, and party size. 2. Instruct Operator to search OpenTable for availability. 3. If the agent encounters location errors, guide it to the correct city or zip code. 4. Have Operator present the available slots. 5. Review the options and explicitly approve one. 6. Confirm the agent does not submit the booking without your final click. Report any navigation failures or incorrect data extraction. Do not proceed if the agent attempts to bypass login or payment restrictions.
