A new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered web browser has been launched by Open AI, the company behind ChatGPT. The new web browser, called ChatGPT Atlas, places its popular chatbot at the centre of users’ online experience. It is expected to challenge Google Chrome’s long-standing dominance in the domain of web browsing.
The launch builds on ChatGPT’s more than 800 million weekly active users, extending its reach beyond chat to become a full browsing companion. With ChatGPT Atlas, ChatGPT is now embedded directly into the browser, helping users summarise webpages, complete forms, draft content or even plan events, all without switching tabs.
A key feature of Atlas is browser memory, which allows ChatGPT to recall context from previously visited websites to assist with related tasks later. Users can, for instance, ask it to compile job listings they viewed last week or analyse information from multiple pages. These memories are optional and fully controllable, ensuring privacy through settings that let users archive or delete them anytime.
The browser also introduces agent mode, enabling ChatGPT to take proactive steps like conducting research, comparing products, or booking appointments in real time, streamlining everyday digital interactions.
ChatGPT Atlas is now available worldwide for macOS users across Free, Plus, Pro, and Go plans, with Windows, iOS, and Android versions on the way. Its arrival signals a new era where web browsing becomes more conversational, intuitive, and personalised. For more details, visit Open AI's website.
