OpenAI is expanding its Operator tool to more countries, making it accessible to ChatGPT Pro users in Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, among others.
However, it remains unavailable in the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland.
Operator, which was launched in the United States in January, is designed to handle tasks such as booking tickets, making restaurant reservations, filing expense reports, and shopping online.
The feature is currently exclusive to users subscribed to the $200-per-month ChatGPT Pro plan and is accessible only through a dedicated webpage. OpenAI plans to integrate Operator into all ChatGPT clients in the future.
The tool operates via a separate browser window, allowing users to monitor and take control of its actions as needed.
The AI-powered automation space is becoming more competitive, with major tech companies developing similar tools. Google has its own agent currently restricted to a waitlist, Anthropic provides access through an API, and Rabbit’s action model is limited to users of its dedicated device.
OpenAI has assured users that Operator will be made available in other regions where it is not yet accessible. “Still working on making Operator available in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein & Iceland—we’ll keep you updated!” OpenAI stated.
