Post a word to Pastebin and return the link
A user tried Operator on unusual browser tasks, and it successfully posted the word "computer" to Pastebin and returned the link.
Done withOperator
- What they did
- The poster tested OpenAI Operator on several odd browser tasks inside its own web browser. For this one, they told it to go to Pastebin and post the single word "computer," and Operator completed the post and then returned the paste link in the Operator chat; the thread does not describe any manual intervention for that step.
- How it went
- It worked: the word was posted to Pastebin and the link was shared back. The post gives no further metrics or limitations for this specific task beyond listing it as successful.
- Worth knowing
- The source only states the result, not how long it took or any setup details beyond using Operator’s browser.
Try it yourself with Operator
Open [website, e.g. Pastebin] in the browser and [create a new post / entry] containing the text "[your text]". When it is published, give me the link to the result and confirm the text matches. Pause and show me the content and any visibility settings before you click the final publish or submit button.
