OpenAI Introduces New AI-Enhanced Web Browser
OpenAI unveiled a new web browser on Tuesday, integrating its advanced chatbot technology into the browsing experience.
“Introducing our latest browser—ChatGPT Atlas,” the company announced in a post.
The browser aims to offer a more tailored experience by including a ChatGPT sidebar, allowing users to ask questions or interact with different elements of the websites they visit, as shown in a demo video. Atlas is currently available for Apple’s Mac operating system and will soon expand to Windows, iOS, and Android, according to OpenAI.
The ChatGPT sidebar can summarize web content, compare items, or analyze data from any page, as stated on OpenAI’s site. A select group of premium users can also access an experimental virtual assistant called “Agent Mode,” which handles multi-step tasks like trip planning and online shopping.
Additionally, the browser lets ChatGPT refine highlighted text. One example demonstrates revising an email draft with the prompt: “Make this sound more professional.”
Privacy controls allow users to manage what information ChatGPT retains, how their data is processed, and their browsing preferences. Currently, Atlas does not automatically use browsing activity to train AI models, and users can clear their history, similar to other browsers. However, if “Browser Memories” is enabled, ChatGPT may retain insights from visited sites. OpenAI’s data-sharing practices with third parties remain unspecified.
This launch follows existing AI-integrated browsers, such as Google’s Chrome, which incorporates its Gemini AI model. Competitors like Perplexity AI have also introduced similar tools. Shares of Google dipped by 4% following the announcement amid concerns over potential competition for Chrome.
