- notes
- OpenAI's Operator (released 2025-01-23) was a browsing agent powered by the Computer-Using Agent (CUA) model that performed online tasks in a browser on the user's behalf. It was deprecated after the release of ChatGPT agent and shut down on 2025-08-31. Retained here as a deprecated agentic-browser record for history/freshness.
