OpenAI on Tuesday announced ChatGPT Atlas, a new artificial intelligence-powered web browser.
The company said Atlas looks and feels similar to other existing browsers, but its key differentiator is that it’s built around OpenAI’s generative chatbot ChatGPT. This means users will be able to access ChatGPT to create summaries, ask questions and complete tasks as they navigate across any page on the web.
“We think that AI represents a rare once-a-decade opportunity to rethink what a browser can be about,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said during a livestream on Tuesday.
The launch of Atlas puts OpenAI in direct competition with rivals like Google and Perplexity AI, which are jostling to attract users and win market share with their own browser offerings.
