The new tool, called Operator, can shop for groceries or book a restaurant reservation. But it still needs help from humans.
It can also ask follow-up questions to further personalize the tasks it completes, such as login information for other websites. Users can take control of the screen at any time.
OpenAI announced on Thursday that it is launching a research preview of Operator, a general-purpose AI agent that can take control of a web browser and perform tasks autonomously.
