OpenAI introduced Operator⁠ (opens in a new window), a web-based agent that can complete tasks for you. It can see a webpage and use its own browser to type, click, and scroll across it. As a research preview, it has restrictions and will change in response to user feedback. Operator is one of our first agents, which are AIs that can conduct work for you on their own—you assign it a task, and it completes it.

@saaswarrior This is an exciting update. It could replace SaaS for web scraping, social media management, and process automation tools. What do you think? :)
Seunghwan
@saaswarrior I’m really looking forward to using Operator soon!

@rohanrecommends Yeh, I have tried some tools related to desktop automation like Robomotion and Taskmagic and now OpenAI launched this. I think it will create more competition. But I can't tell about social media management because social media platforms ban third-party automation solutions from starting.
Rohan Chaubey
@saaswarrior that’s true. Having said that, there are LinkedIn automation tools that are operating at 10M ARR :)

@rohanrecommends Yes, but it is also true that they have blocked so many tools and even profiles as well because they are using automation via third-party apps. So risk is there.

Remember Operator from back in the day?

@chrismessina Seems like we've come a long way. :D

@chrismessina I didn't know about it. What was that? Website is not working now
Herman Schutte
Why is this not available in South Africa? Geo blocked?
Rohan Chaubey
@hermanschutte It is currently a research preview, meaning it has limitations and will evolve based on user feedback. Available to Pro users in the U.S. :)
Andre Marquet
@hermanschutte @rohanrecommends when is it going to be available in EU?

That's great! Both me and my wife have visited more than 80 countries and we know it well, how much time it takes us to book all the stuff. Will use operator right now for that purpore.

It sounds like OpenAI's Operator could be a very useful tool for automating tasks, especially when dealing with repetitive actions on websites. How do you see the role of AI agents evolving in the tech industry?

@mikita_aliaksandrovich Looks like someone is already using operator 😏
Dzianis Pomazau
Can't wait until it can book my taxes in Germany :)
André J
@pomazau Taxes will never be automated in Germany 😅
Dzianis Pomazau
@sentry_co They can be, but it will be not Germany

aint no gonna lie openai $200 for a glorified pupetter seems like a terrible measure to counter deepseek. i dont touch oai anymore, deepseek solves my needs for free
Manu Hortet
Exciting to see where this goes. We really are on the other side already
Confidence Onumabor
Amazing! When will Operator get to African regions?
Yatheen Brahma
Great work and good luck with the launch :)
William Anderson
Huge! Going to put this to work today 😂
Matt Snyder
this might be my chance to finally get through the TSA Precheck application
Andrew Chang
I will be interesting to see how the operator will handle tasks like emailing and sending messages when it has the owner's credential to access emails and communication platforms.

These guys never cease to amaze me.

Launching soon!
@sama @saaswarrior very excited to see this Agentic operation in real time / really nail down the use case for both personal use and in app functionality. Curious when this feature will be live for paid users in Canada West (PDT)? (Vancouver BC specifically)

Good thing producthunt implemented the verified badge just in time. Spam will be rampant with this 😅
Ajay Kumar Singh
Showing error: "Operator is unavailable in your region"???
William Jin
This could save me so much time on research tasks. What types of tasks do you find most beneficial for automation?

Our app without AI but still good
