"OpenAI announced Tuesday the launch of its AI-powered browser, ChatGPT Atlas, a major step in the company's quest to unseat Google as the main way people find information online. The company says Atlas will first roll out on MacOS, with support for Windows, iOS and Android coming soon. OpenAI says the product will be available to all free users at launch."
"Browsers have quickly become the AI industry's next battleground. While Google Chrome has long dominated the space, there's a sense that AI chatbots and agents are fundamentally changing how people get work done online. A handful of startups have tried to capture this by launching AI-powered browsers of their own, such as Perplexity's Comet and The Browser Company's Dia. Google and Microsoft have also tried to update Chrome and Edge, respectively, with AI-powered features to make their legacy products stand out."
"The killer feature for other AI-powered browsers has been the built-in chatbot that sits in a side panel and automatically has context for whatever's on your screen. It may sound minor, but many users spend all day copying and pasting text or dragging files and links into ChatGPT, just to provide context. The sidecar feature removes that friction, and makes for a smoother user experience."
OpenAI launched ChatGPT Atlas, an AI-powered browser that integrates ChatGPT as its core search and browsing interface. Atlas will roll out first on MacOS, with Windows, iOS and Android support coming soon, and will be available to free users at launch. The browser provides a sidecar chatbot with automatic context for on-screen content, removing the need to copy, paste, or drag items into a chat. Atlas records browser history to personalize responses and joins a competitive field where startups and legacy browser makers add AI features and task-automating agents.
