""AI represents a rare, once-a-decade opportunity to rethink what a browser can be," OpenAI's CEO said yesterday when announcing the company's latest product: ChatGPT Atlas. In this new AI-powered browser, ChatGPT becomes the central mechanism for surfing the internet. From any webpage in Atlas, you can click an "Ask ChatGPT" button to open a side conversation with the chatbot. Want cooking inspiration? Atlas can pull from recipes you've recently viewed through its "browser memories" feature."
"Given all of these big promises, I was struck, when I tried Atlas for myself, by how much the experience simply felt like browsing the internet. Fire up the browser, and Atlas opens ChatGPT in a new tab-exactly what Chrome does with Google. (Atlas is built on Chromium, the same open-source browser project developed by Google that is the foundation for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.) Clicking on the "Ask ChatGPT" button in Atlas was akin to using any other browser and opening up ChatGPT."
ChatGPT Atlas integrates ChatGPT directly into a Chromium-based browser, placing the chatbot at the center of web navigation. An "Ask ChatGPT" button opens a side conversation from any webpage. A browser memories feature stores recently viewed pages and surfaces related content, such as recipes, without manual searching. An agent mode can use the web to research and perform tasks with user permission, including booking travel. In practice, Atlas often behaves like a conventional browser and primarily reduces the minor friction of navigating to ChatGPT. Agent mode currently runs slowly and exhibits bugs. Many features mirror existing ChatGPT capabilities.
