The Agent Era in AI and Operator
As of 2025, OpenAI made a strategic shift in AI models, moving from the traditional chatbot structure to “Agent” systems. At the center of this transformation is the Operator feature, which can perform autonomous actions through the browser on behalf of the user. Within the granted permissions, Operator can manage end-to-end processes such as ticket search, form filling, and reservations.
2025 Updates and Technical Details
The new update package includes the following innovations that bring the platform’s capabilities to the operating system and browser level:
- GPT-5 Architecture: While hallucination rates were minimized, reasoning capacity was increased, especially in coding and mathematical problems.
- Sora Integration: Sora, the text-to-video generation model, was integrated directly into the chat interface, enabling instant scenario visualization.
- Live Screen Sharing: Developed for technical support processes, this mode can detect code errors by analyzing the screen or provide interface navigation.
- Deep Research: A deep research mode was added that can create academic-level reports with references by conducting broad data scans.
- ChatGPT Atlas: Atlas, the Chromium-based web browser developed by OpenAI, places the AI engine directly into the browser infrastructure. In this way, with “Agent Mode”, in-page automations are made more efficient.
These developments show that ChatGPT has moved beyond being only an information adviser and has become an integrated digital workforce capable of managing operational processes.
