OpenAI Operator is an AI agent that can autonomously control computers and browsers to complete tasks without human assistance. Launched in January 2025, Operator transforms AI from a passive tool to an active participant in the digital ecosystem, operating as a browser-based autonomous agent.
The tool is initially available as a research preview through OpenAI's API for developers and requires a ChatGPT Pro subscription ($200/month) for access. Operator is designed to complete tasks on a computer without human assistance, first announced in November 2024.
Key Capabilities:
- Autonomous browser navigation and control
- Task completion without human intervention
- Integration via API for developer access
- Research preview status with planned wider rollout
Provisioning Platforms:
- OpenAI API
- ChatGPT Pro subscription required
- Research preview access
MOHARA should access Operator for automated testing workflows and customer experience automation, particularly for repetitive browser-based tasks requiring high reliability and minimal human oversight.
