Operator played a deepfake game scoring 6/10, shopped for jeans, and compiled information about online courses from the author's website.

Leon Furze used OpenAI's Operator, which controls a small browser through screenshots and prompts. He gave it tasks: play his Deepfake Game, find a specific pair of jeans, and list the fees and descriptions of his online courses from practicalaistrategies.com. For the course list he left it running while he got a coffee. On the jeans task it moved on to other stores when the first had no size.
It scored 6/10 on the deepfake game in two minutes and returned the course list. On the jeans it found the right colour and size, then clicked the wrong size and added that to the cart.
Operator needed the $200/month Pro tier at the time of writing. The author describes it as still in research preview, with bugs like the wrong-size click.
