Jordan Wilson: 我认为OpenAI的Operator代理是目前最好的AI代理。许多人错误地使用它,将其用于研究,但实际上它更适合跨多个网站和软件服务执行任务。Operator代理可以访问多个网站,复制和粘贴信息,并登录到不同的产品。它能够处理知识工作任务,连接多个服务,并执行耗时的重复性任务。我建议不要使用OpenAI在其演示中展示的预设提示,例如预订餐厅或购买电影票,因为这些任务人类可以更快地完成。相反,应该利用Operator代理进行基本研究、阅读、写作、总结和数据分析,这些任务无法在ChatGPT或Deep Research中完成。我亲身示范了如何使用Operator代理进行研究,从Google Gemini获取信息,创建幻灯片,并发送电子邮件,展示了其在实际工作中的应用。
