Table of Contents OpenAI has finally entered the agentic AI race with the release of its Operator AI in January.

The agentic system is designed to work autonomously on its user’s behalf and is primed to compete against already established industry rivals like Claude’s Computer Use API and Microsoft’s Copilot agents — at least, once it sheds its “research preview” status. Here’s everything you need to know about OpenAI’s new agent and when you might be able to try it for yourself.

Related The Operator app is powered by a new “Computer-Using Agent” model that is, in turn, built atop GPT-4o, which provides the app’s multimodal abilities. OpenAI says CUA was trained in a similar fashion to its o1 and o3 reasoning models. As such the CUA model will break down complex tasks into their component problems before trying to solve them sequentially, backtracking if it runs into any logical roadblocks.

What can Operator do and how well can it do it? Since it is limited to the browser, Operator can only perform simple internet-based tasks currently, such as reserving concert tickets, ordering DoorDash, or filling out Instacart orders. The company also claims that the agent will be able to automate tasks like booking hotels and airlines, reserving tables at restaurants, and even doing your online shopping.
