Got access to OpenAI's Operator! I recorded while trying it for the 1st time - just made a dinner reservation. Pretty amazing.
Thoughts:
✨ I really enjoyed not having to do the groundwork like searching for the restaurant, inputting the details
✨ This basically has a model that combines multimodal capabilities with mouse and keyboard control to act on your behalf
✨ There’s a built-in browser so you can see what Operator is doing in real time. I also liked that I could take control or hand it back whenever I wanted.
✨ It was slower than I expected, but honestly, that didn’t bother me much—it was just surprising.
✨ I wish it were more proactive. Memory could help here so it can learn from how I interact over time.
✨ What’s really missing is voice interaction. Once I can use this seamlessly via voice, it will truly feel like a game changer.
Overall, pretty amazing and the beginning of a new way of achieving things.
