I’ve been reading a lot of posts and conversations yesterday and today about Open AIs Agent, Operator.
Lots of folks are using and claiming it takes away the need for automation, workflows, triggers, etc. as an automation agency curious how this may or may not change anything for us.
Here’s the claim:
1. Fewer Tools, Faster Results
-Traditional AI + Automation requires tools like Zapier, API access, and custom workflows.
-Operator does it all: research, execution, and scheduling in one system.
2. No API Dependency
-Zapier-style workflows only work if tools have APIs or pre-built integrations.
-Operator bypasses this by using a virtual browser, interacting with websites like a human.
3. Real-Time Adaptability
-Operator pauses and asks for help if it needs input (e.g., login credentials, confirmation).
4. More Human-Like Execution
-It doesn’t just follow rigid rules—it mimics how a person would approach a task.
