Reported experience

  1. What they did

    The author asked OpenAI's Operator, which drives its own browser, to order blue pens. After Amazon blocked it, it moved to Staples.com and filtered by brand and ink color. It proposed a pack, got a yes, and ran guest checkout. It handed control back at payment. Separately, an executive strategist asked it to find a Mexico resort.

  2. How it went

    It found 144 BIC blue pens for $23.39, and the author finished the payment. Restaurant booking failed: wrong location at first, then blocked pages. The resort search picked random dates and locations without asking questions.

  3. Worth knowing

    Operator asks you to take over for logins, payment details and CAPTCHAs, so the purchase is never fully hands-off. It also requires the $200 per month Pro plan.
