Last week OpenAI launched their AI Operator - An agentic browser operator that can search the web, book flights, reserve tables and even complete ecommerce purchases. The problem is that at the time of writing, it’s only available in the US and for Pro users ($200/month).

So in the mean-time here are 4 free alternatives to OpenAI's Operator. They are all still in development and not particularly fast but will give you a better understanding of how operators work and what opportunities they will bring to automation.

Browser by CognosysAI - Free open source operator in development but available to try now.

Browser Use - YC backed AI web operator with free and open source tiers available in addition to pro-versions ($30/m)

Smooth Operator - Free web based and local operator that can control not just the browser but the whole computer.

Open Operator - Open source and free alternative to OpenAI's Operator agent developed by Browserbase

We’ll keep updating this list of free agentic operators as new projects are published.
