Mentioned:

OpenAI changed the world’s perception of artificial intelligence with the launch of ChatGPT. Now, they want to do it again with artificial intelligence agents.

What’s happening:

  • OpenAI has officially launched their very first AI agent known as Operator

The big idea:

  • Operator is able to take a simple text command and autonomously perform tasks on the internet
  • Currently, Operator is capable of doing tasks such as making reservations at a restaurant, booking travel and ordering groceries

Why it matters:

  • This is the first time that OpenAI has debuted an artificial intelligence technology that can go beyond conversational capabilities and actually perform tasks autonomously based solely off of simple instructions

Going deeper:

  • OpenAI has publicly stated they have already struck partnerships with companies such as Uber (NASDAQ: UBER) and DoorDash (NASDAQ: DASH) to experiment with new capabilities and tasks for Operator
