San Francisco, CA, February 17, 2025 – OpenAI announced on Friday that its AI agent, Operator, is now available for ChatGPT Pro subscribers in a broader range of countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, among others.
The rollout marks another step in the expansion of the tool, which was first launched in the United States in January.
Operator is designed to perform a variety of tasks on behalf of users, such as booking tickets, making restaurant reservations, filing expense reports, and shopping on e-commerce websites. The service is currently offered exclusively to subscribers of the $200-per-month ChatGPT Pro plan and can be accessed through a dedicated web page. Operator operates in a separate browser window that users can control at any time to complete their tasks.
While Operator will be available in most regions where ChatGPT is offered, OpenAI noted that it will not be offered in the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, or Iceland.
The company plans to eventually extend Operator to all ChatGPT clients, broadening its accessibility beyond the current Pro subscriber base. The move comes amid growing competition in the “AI agent” space, with companies such as Google, Anthropic, and Rabbit developing similar tools. However, each competitor’s approach varies: Google’s project remains on a waitlist, Anthropic provides its agentic interface via an API, and Rabbit’s action model is limited to users who own its device.
OpenAI’s expansion of Operator reflects its ongoing efforts to integrate advanced AI capabilities into everyday applications, aiming to simplify routine tasks for users while navigating an increasingly competitive landscape in AI-powered productivity tools.
