Research
Using Operator to find the best laptop deals, observing the AI's reasoning steps, and understanding current limitations in the checkout process.
Purchase Autonomy Limitations
Currently, Operator may not be able to fully complete transactions (checkout) automatically as it requires security verification or the user's personal account login.
Transparency of Reasoning Steps
Use the 'Thinking' feature to see how the AI makes decisions, including which websites it visits and how it filters out irrelevant information (such as closing MacBook tabs when searching for a PC).
Role as a Research Buddy
Operator is highly effective as a Research Buddy for comparing prices across various platforms before the user makes the final purchase decision manually.
