Use Operator to shop, play a game, and gather course details
A developer used Operator to finish a deepfake game, search for jeans, and pull together course details from a website.
- What they did
- Leon Furze asked OpenAI’s Operator to handle three browser tasks: play his Deepfake Game, look for a specific pair of jeans, and collect the fees and descriptions for his online courses on practicalaistrategies.com. Because Operator works from screenshots and short instructions, he let it keep going on the course task while he stepped away. When the first clothing store lacked a size, it tried another shop.
- How it went
- Operator finished the deepfake game with a score of 6/10 in about two minutes and produced the course list. For the jeans task, it found the right color and size, but then selected the wrong size and put that version in the cart.
- Tips
- For shopping tasks, tell the agent exactly what to avoid, then ask it to stop before checkout. It was part of a $200/month Pro tier at the time, and it was still in research preview, so expect occasional mistakes.
Try it yourself with Operator
Use your browser to help me with three tasks. First, play [game name] and tell me your score. Second, search [shopping site] for [item description] in [size] and [color], staying under [budget]; show me the best options with price, size, and a link, then pause before adding anything to cart or checkout. Third, visit [website] and compile the fees and short descriptions for my [course type] courses. If a choice could lead to a purchase, submission, or cart change, stop and ask me first. Do not enter payment details or complete any order.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
