OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas brings AI-powered assistance directly into a standalone browser.
OpenAI has launched its first standalone web browser, which it has dubbed ChatGPT Atlas. It integrates ChatGPT directly into the browser.
According to its launch page, users can open a ChatGPT sidebar in any window. From there, they can choose to summarize content, compare products, and analyze data.
Users control what ChatGPT remembers, similar to the in-browser and desktop versions. The ChatGPT Atlas Data Controls and Privacy page notes that, by default, users' browsing data isn't used to improve or train AI models.
Highlighting text in emails, calendar invites, or documents brings up context-aware tools. Chat then provides suggestions or relevant information with a single click.
While there are plenty of features unique to ChatGPT Atlas, one stands out more than the others. Agent Mode, which is available in preview to Plus, Pro, and Business subscribers, allows ChatGPT to perform tasks on the user's behalf.
OpenAI suggests that certain tasks could be completed from start to finish. It then goes on to suggest that these tasks could include "researching" and "shopping for a trip."
It also features the things you've come to expect from a browser. It features tabs, autocomplete, a search bar, and bookmarks; users can even set browsing preferences and colors.
ChatGPT Atlas is available to download now. Mac users will need to be running macOS 14+ and must have a Mac with Apple Silicon — M1 or better.
