OpenAI has expanded the availability of its AI agent, Operator, to numerous countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. This expansion makes Operator available in most locations where ChatGPT is accessible, with the exception of the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland, although efforts are underway to include these regions in the future. Operator, which initially launched in the U.S. in January 2025, is designed to independently operate a web browser to complete tasks for users.
Operator is currently exclusive to ChatGPT Pro subscribers, who pay $200 per month for access. The tool operates through a dedicated web page, with plans to integrate it across all ChatGPT clients in the future. As a browser-use agent, Operator faces competition from entities like Google, Anthropic, and Rabbit, each developing similar agent technologies. Early testing indicates that despite the hype around consumer tasks like ordering pizza, its future may lie in more sophisticated research and task execution, possibly in combination with tools like Deep Research.
