OpenAI’s Operator Set to Launch in January 2025

OpenAI is gearing up to launch its new AI agent “Operator” in January 2025, designed to autonomously handle tasks like coding, booking travel, and managing schedules. Available first as a research preview and through the API, Operator marks a shift towards smarter, hands-off AI assistance. With Microsoft and Google also entering the AI agent race, CEO Sam Altman highlights Operator’s potential to boost productivity—while we chuckle at the thought of our future AI-overlords handling the mundane.
