OpenAI has been working on launching an exciting new AI agent called “Operator” which is built to carry out operations on a user’s computer. In a report, Bloomberg notes that “Operator” will be launched in January 2025 and made accessible to developers through OpenAI’s API. This tool is said to be an AI visionary tool which is able to conduct online searches making it easier for the developers to find solutions to complicated daily tasks.
How Does “Operator” Compare to Other Existing AI Agents?
While some may disagree, it is the objective of OpenAI to introduce AI tools for performing tasks after the introduction of Controller aided AI that enables the use of computers using the Claude AI model by Anthropic. It has been reported that an AI agent with a similar focus on consumer use is being developed by Google. This, however, only seeks to reinforce existing practices where the focus has shifted to automating work processes labeled as mundane sources of work like responding to emails, filling in forms, etc.
Increase in Adoption of AI Agents
As their noetic enterprise becomes more challenging, a new survey by Capgemini indicated that 82% of firms plan to use agents within three years, expecting to change dramatically the workflows in business sectors adding to the existing email creation, programming, or analysis of data functions. With the likes of OpenAI, Anthropic And Google spending billions on the AI Agent sector we are heading towards a reality where these smart tools will be part and parcel of the functioning day to day activities.
