OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Atlas, its first artificial intelligence (AI)-powered web browser, on Tuesday. This now becomes the San Francisco-based AI giant's third consumer product, following ChatGPT and the Sora app. Available exclusively for macOS, ChatGPT Atlas is integrated with the GPT-5 AI model and can perform several tasks for users. The AI assistant is available across different tabs via a side panel. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman highlighted that the browser also comes with agentic capabilities.

OpenAI Enters the AI Browser Race With ChatGPT Atlas

In a livestream, the OpenAI team introduced and detailed the ChatGPT Atlas. The browser was earlier teased by the AI giant via a cryptic video showcasing browser tabs. The AI-powered web browser is currently available on Mac, and support for Windows, iOS, and Android will be added soon. The browser is available to all users, but the agents are only accessible to the paid subscribers.

Visually, it looks like a plain-jane browser; however, under the hood, it is powered by the company's GPT-5 AI model. The default home page is similar to the ChatGPT interface, complete with the side panel containing recent conversations. However, the text interface here doubles as a search bar, and users can either type their queries or paste a website URL to directly go to the desired destination.

Similar to Perplexity's Comet browser and The Browser Company's Dia browser, ChatGPT Atlas also features an AI assistant in the sidebar that can assist the user in various ways on any tab. It also has the context of all the opened tabs, allowing users to collate information from multiple web pages. OpenAI says the ChatGPT assistant can summarise content, compare products, or analyse data from websites.

The browser also features what the company calls "browser memory." Essentially, what it means is that the browser can remember the user's past sessions to tailor the experience to their needs. OpenAI highlights that the user is in control of what the browser remembers.

One of the most interesting feature of the ChatGPT Atlas is the agent mode. In this mode, the AI browser can interact with websites on behalf of the user. It can perform research by visiting multiple websites, purchase products, and plan for a trip. This is currently available in preview for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Business accounts.
