Welcome back to Week in Review. This week we’re diving into OpenAI’s newly released AI agent, called Operator. We also look at where TikTok stands after

Generative artificial intelligence heavyweight OpenAI on Thursday previewed an AI agent that can carry out tasks on the web for users, as it seeks to enhance its chatbot amid intensifying competition.

The AI assistant will first be made available to subscribers of ChatGPT Pro, a $200 a month subscription, and eventually roll out into the free version of ChatGPT.

On Thursday, OpenAI released a research preview of " Operator ," a web automation tool that uses a new AI model called Computer-Using Agent (CUA) to control computers through a visual interface. The system performs tasks by viewing and interacting with on-screen elements like buttons and text fields similar to how a human would.

AI agents have the potential to transform industries by automating tasks, personalizing interactions, and improving efficiency.

OpenAI is testing an AI agent called Operator, which can do online tasks like filling out forms and making reservations.

To accompany the improvements of the recently announced o3 model, the o3-mini will be made available to free users with a range of useful improvements.
