Shopping & ErrandsDone with Operator
Find a toy and start checkout with Operator
OpenAI's Operator picked a toy matching criteria and opened Target.com but did not complete the purchase, walking the user through checkout.
- What They Did
- Melina Flabiano asked Operator for a developmentally appropriate, educational toy for her 8-month-old. She set a $10-15 budget, wanted free shipping, and asked it to buy the toy. Operator opened its own browser and searched for toys. It chose one that fit the criteria and opened Target.com. She then went through the purchase flow herself.
- How It Went
- Operator found a toy that met her criteria, but it did not complete the purchase. It led her through checkout, while Perplexity in the same post did complete a purchase on its own.
- Worth Knowing
- Operator works by clicking through websites like a person rather than using APIs. Expect to finish the checkout yourself, even if your prompt asks it to buy.
