"This week, OpenAI debuted its long-rumored AI browser that aims to put its AI chatbot at the center of the internet. The browser, called ChatGPT Atlas, is entering a space that's already occupied by Perplexity's Comet and Google Gemini in Chrome. OpenAI is likely betting that putting ChatGPT front and center is enough to draw users in, but the overall experience falls short when compared to rivals so far."
"The Chromium-based ChatGPT Atlas - currently exclusive to macOS, though versions for other platforms are promised - comes with a minimalist interface. On the left side of the window, you'll find a collapsible tab with your ChatGPT history. In the center is your URL bar, which also lets you directly search using ChatGPT. On the right is an "Ask ChatGPT" button, which you can hit to chat specifically about whatever website you're currently on."
"For ChatGPT Plus, Business, and Pro members, there's also an "agentic mode," which can complete tasks like adding items to an online shopping cart. ChatGPT Atlas' homescreen offers suggestions for getting started, like "Find the best restaurants near me." Over time, it populates with some recommendations based on what you've searched for in the browser, though it wasn't always clear how."
OpenAI launched ChatGPT Atlas, a Chromium-based AI browser that places ChatGPT at the center of browsing and competes with Perplexity's Comet and Google Gemini. The browser is initially macOS-exclusive with other platform versions promised. The interface is minimalist with a collapsible ChatGPT history tab on the left, a central URL/search bar that uses ChatGPT, and an "Ask ChatGPT" button for site-specific chats. ChatGPT Plus, Business, and Pro members gain an agentic mode that can perform tasks like adding items to shopping carts. The homescreen offers suggested searches and populates recommendations over time, though recommendation logic can be unclear. The overall experience currently trails rivals in features and personalization.
