Subscribers of ChatGPT Pro for $200, will likely be the first to try out a new development from OpenAI — the AI agent Operator, which will manage your computer or perform actions in the browser for you.
Hints of the agent’s launch in the subscription were initially noticed in the ChatGPT codebase by a user X, while the publication TechCrunch found similar references to Operator on the OpenAI website.
From what has been noticed so far:
Recently, the site The Information reported that OpenAI might launch Operator as early as this week and, considering the latest changes in the code, it seems everything is ready.
“The feature called ‘Operator’ will perform various task categories, such as ordering goods or planning trips. When the user enters a prompt, a miniature screen will open in the chatbot, displaying the browser and the actions the agent will perform. The agent will also ask additional questions — for example, about the time and number of people for restaurant reservations,” — it was noted in the report.
As a reminder, a similar AI model (i.e., one that can manage a computer) has already been presented by Anthropic, but is currently only available as a beta feature for developers.
ChatGPT Pro — this is a premium subscription to the OpenAI chatbot, which among other things provides access to the updated version of the artificial intelligence model o1, mode o1 pro, and cancels speed limits for several other company tools, including the video generator Sora. Despite the fact that the subscription cost reaches up to $200, the company’s CEO Sam Altman stated at the beginning of January that they are still losing money on it due to “excessive demand.”
