Privacy During Manual 'Take Over'
When you take over control, Operator automatically stops taking screenshots. This ensures that any personal actions or sensitive data you type manually are not recorded in the AI's visual logs.
Troubleshooting
The 'Take Over' feature is extremely useful if the AI gets stuck on complex UI elements or requires human verification (such as a CAPTCHA). You can resolve these hurdles manually and let the AI handle the rest of the work.
Session Continuity & Login
Operator saves your site data and login status across sessions. This means you don't have to log in repeatedly every time you take over or return control to the AI.
Multi-tasking with Operator Sessions
You don't have to wait for an Operator task to finish before doing something else. You can start a new chat and then switch back to the ongoing Operator session via the sidebar.

- Use the navigation menu if needed to start a 'New Chat' or return to an existing session via the chat list.
