OpenAI is developing a web browser aimed at competing against Google's Chrome using the Chromium open-source codebase. This browser will include AI agent integrations, allowing it to perform tasks on behalf of users, such as filling out forms and making bookings. The design prioritizes a native chat interface, potentially requiring users to interact with a chatbot for web navigation. The browser is expected to launch soon and is part of a strategy to enhance data collection on user behavior, providing OpenAI more control over collected information.
The browser would enable AI agent integrations with OpenAI's Operator, letting it carry out actions and tasks on your behalf.
The OpenAI browser is launching "in the coming weeks" and aims to use artificial intelligence to fundamentally change how consumers browse the web.
OpenAI decided to build its own browser rather than an extension for existing ones "in order to have more control over the data it can collect."
It will have access to your browsing history, making it ideal for AI agents, which would book things on your behalf, fill out forms, directly in the browser.
