OpenAI’s Operator reaches more global markets amid growing competition
OpenAI plans to extend Operator access beyond the $200-per-month Pro plan in the future.
OpenAI has expanded its AI agent, Operator, to ChatGPT Pro subscribers in several new countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the UK.
Initially launched in the United States in January, Operator allows users to delegate tasks like booking tickets, making restaurant reservations, filing expense reports, and shopping online.
The tool remains unavailable in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland.
Operator is currently exclusive to the $200-per-month ChatGPT Pro plan and can only be accessed through a dedicated webpage.
The AI agent operates within a separate browser window, which users can control at any time. OpenAI has announced plans to eventually integrate Operator into all ChatGPT clients, expanding its accessibility.
The AI agent market is becoming increasingly competitive, with Google, Anthropic, and Rabbit developing similar tools. While Google’s project is still waitlisted, Anthropic offers its agentic interface via API, and Rabbit restricts its action model to users of its proprietary device.
OpenAI’s broader rollout of Operator aims to solidify its position in this fast-evolving space.
