Operator is a paid AI chief of staff for personal and work tasks, available through the web and a browser extension. It triages inboxes, drafts replies, schedules or reschedules meetings, and prepares context before calls. The agent researches companies and prospects across the open web, monitors pages and feeds on a schedule, and reports changes. Developer tasks can include issue triage, pull requests, deploys, and database queries through tools such as GitHub and Vercel. Listed integrations include Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Notion, GitHub, Linear, HubSpot, Salesforce, and Stripe; MCP servers and OpenClaw skills provide other connections. Users message the agent through Telegram and can receive scheduled updates. GPT-class models are included, while Claude, Gemini, or a personal key can be configured through OpenClaw provider syntax. Agents use isolated environments, and credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Scheduled jobs and long-running research run on Operator.io servers.
