Use Operator to shop prices and outline a trip

Have Operator gather a trip plan in Notion and price a grocery list across nearby stores in Google Sheets.

Done with Operator· Intermediate· Jan 2025

What they did
One person handed Operator a grocery list and asked it to look up prices at the four closest stores, then record the comparison in Google Sheets. Another treated it like a browser they could watch and take over, using it to research an upcoming trip and turn that research into a Notion page.
How it went
It could keep working on browser tasks without supervision, but commenters said it felt very slow and awkward. The trip-planning run also misunderstood some pages and introduced editing mistakes, while the grocery comparison was said to work.
Tips
Expect to check the output yourself, especially if the agent needs to copy information between sites and documents. If you want changes made in Notion or Sheets, build in a pause so you can approve them first.

Try it yourself with Operator

Look up a [number]-day trip for [number] people to [destination] with a total budget of [amount]. Collect useful details from the web and draft the plan in Notion with sections for each day, where to stay, and what to eat. Separately, compare the prices of [items] at these nearby stores: [store names], and place the results in a Google Sheet. Stop before making any new page, edit, or submission, and ask me to approve the next step first.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
