OpenAI recently launched Operator, a new AI agent designed to automate tasks like booking travel and shopping, marking a shift from traditional chatbots. 

Operator uses a novel approach, bypassing APIs to interact with software and websites directly, mimicking human computer use. However, Operator's performance currently lags behind human capabilities, and the AI field faces increasing competition, especially from companies like Alibaba.
