OpenAI is preparing to launch an artificial intelligence (AI) agent codenamed Operator. It will be able to use a computer on behalf of a person to write code or book travel.
This was reported by Bloomberg.
OpenAI sources told the publication that a preliminary version of the tool is due in January 2025. In October 2024, CEO Sam Altman hinted at innovations in the company while answering user questions on Reddit.
Corporations specializing in AI will develop assistants to solve complex tasks with minimal human intervention. Anthropic’s agent can work at a computer instead of a user. Microsoft has released a set of tools for email and note-taking. The Information writes that Google is also preparing to release an advanced application with artificial intelligence.
Bloomberg’s sources say OpenAI is working on several agent-related projects at once. The fastest to see the light of day is a tool that will perform tasks in an Internet browser. The decision to create a personal assistant is also related to the fact that tech giants are experiencing less and less return on more advanced AI models.
