"OpenAI unveiled its AI browser ChatGPT Atlas during a livestream on Tuesday. There have been other AI browsers such as The Browser Company's Dia, Opera's Neon, Perplexity's Comet, and General Catalyst-backed Strawberry. OpenAI's launch is notable because of the sheer scale of reaching potentially 800 million of its weekly ChatGPT consumers. For the company, the browser is much more about keeping ChatGPT central than making web browsing better."
"And OpenAI, just like other browser makers, think that Atlas will change the way you browse the web, as Sam Altman made clear at the launch. "We think AI represents once in a decade opportunity to rethink what a browser can be, how to use one, and how to most productively use the web. Tabs were great but there hasn't been a lot of innovation since then," Altman said in his opening speech."
OpenAI launched ChatGPT Atlas, an AI browser initially on Mac with plans for Windows, iOS, and Android, and made it available to all users rather than via invites. The browser aims to position ChatGPT as the primary interaction surface for search and answers instead of Google. AI browsers replace search-result pages with direct answers from chatbots typed into the address bar. OpenAI leverages its large weekly ChatGPT user base, potentially 800 million users, to distribute Atlas broadly. Tech leaders view AI as a platform shift, and platform owners have begun restricting third-party chatbots, as Meta blocked ChatGPT and Perplexity on WhatsApp.
