Shopping & ErrandsDone with Operator Mar 1, 2025
Use Operator to book tables, compare products and fill forms
The poster tested Operator on web tasks including booking a table, comparing products, filling forms, navigating sites and logging into services.
- What They Did
- The poster says they tested ChatGPT Pro’s Operator by giving it tasks on websites such as booking tables, comparing products, filling forms, navigating sites, and logging into services with credentials. In comments they explain it runs in its own Chrome browser, appears to control a mouse in a separate browser pane, and the user can take over control while assigning sequential website actions like checking Gmail, drafting replies, or purging spam.
- How It Went
- They describe it as smooth and able to handle web tasks with clear intent, though not perfectly. The only stated limitation is that it can be slow on some pages; no concrete success metrics or numbers are given.
- Worth Knowing
- The main catch is access and speed: they say Operator is a ChatGPT Pro sidebar option, and it can be slow because it seems to visually decide what to click next.

Help me with this web errand: [book a table for 2 at a restaurant in [city] on [date] at [time] / compare [product type] under [budget] / fill out the form at [website]]. Do the browsing and form-filling for me, and finish with a short summary of what you found or filled in. Pause and show me everything before you submit any form, confirm a booking, or pay, and ask me to log in myself if a login is needed.
