🤖5 Amazing Things You Can Do with ChatGPT’s New Operator Mode
^{Forbes (Feb 2025)}

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Operator Mode is here—and it’s a game-changer. By integrating computer vision with its powerful GPT-4o reasoning model, ChatGPT can now “see” what’s on your screen and interact with apps and services like a human would.

Currently available to U.S. Pro plan subscribers, this feature brings us one step closer to autonomous AI agents that can perform a range of tasks with minimal user input.

Key Points:

• Accommodation Booking: ChatGPT can search Airbnb, check reviews, and finalize bookings.
  

• Restaurant Reservations: From OpenTable to dining recommendations, your AI will help you find the perfect spot.
  

• Event Ticketing: Whether it's StubHub or other platforms, ChatGPT can help you secure the best seats for concerts, sports events, or shows.
  

• Meal Planning: Based on dietary preferences, ChatGPT will generate weekly meal plans and even order groceries through Instacart.
  

• Website Management: Update content on platforms like Wix—no web design experience needed.

Why It Matters: ChatGPT Operator Mode is not just an upgraded feature; it’s the beginning of autonomous AI agents that can handle increasingly complex tasks with zero human intervention. This marks a significant shift from task-based automation to a full-service AI co-worker.

For business leaders, this represents untapped productivity potential. From improving customer service workflows to automating internal tasks, businesses can significantly reduce costs and enhance efficiency.

For personal use, it’s a sign of how AI is becoming increasingly integrated into our lives—doing the things we don’t have time for, while we focus on higher-level work.

As AI continues to evolve, Operator Mode marks a significant step toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), where AI systems can independently learn, adapt, and perform a broader range of tasks across various domains.
