OpenAI has introduced its latest AI tool, Operator, as a research preview, marking a significant advancement in artificial intelligence applications. Operator is a Computer-Using Agent (CUA) based on the GPT-4o model, designed to perform web-based tasks autonomously. It incorporates multimodal capabilities, enabling it to search the web, interpret search results, and interact with on-screen elements much like a human user. However, despite its promising capabilities, the tool has encountered criticism regarding performance inconsistencies, high pricing, and limited accessibility.
