Use case overview

A TechCrunch reporter used Operator for a week; a restaurant reservation needed many interventions and an electrician booking failed.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    During a week-long trial coinciding with his apartment move, Maxwell Zeff gave Operator moving tasks: buying a parking permit, booking a Greek restaurant, finding a parking garage, and booking an electrician on TaskRabbit. Operator worked in a cloud browser, searching and filling forms. He had to approve steps, supply personal details, and take over when it got lost.

  2. How it went

    It found a suitable restaurant but needed more than half a dozen answers along the way. TaskRabbit blocked it, and it hallucinated garage distances (20 and 30 minutes' walk) after entering a wrong address.

  3. Worth knowing

    Operator has no access to your credit card, passwords or email. Expedia, Reddit and YouTube also blocked it, so expect to step in often.

Example prompts

Try with Operator
I'm moving to [city] on [date] and need help with errands. Find three [service, e.g. electricians] near [address] with good reviews and available times in [date range], and look up a table at [restaurant] for [number] people on [date]. Pause and show me the details before you submit any booking form or send any message to a business. Finish with a summary of options and anything that failed.
