Marking another major leap forward in the field of artificial intelligence, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Atlas on Tuesday, marking another significant milestone. This is the company's first AI-based web browser. It is OpenAI's third consumer product, following ChatGPT and Sora. Currently, it is only available for macOS and uses the GPT-5 model.
ChatGPT Atlas was introduced during a live event, showcasing its key features. This browser looks simple, but it boasts the power of the GPT-5 model. The company says that support for Windows, iOS, and Android will be added soon. Currently, the basic version is available to all users, while the Agent feature is available only to paid subscribers.
Atlas's home page is similar to the ChatGPT interface, with recent chats displayed in a side panel. Here, users can either type in a question or directly access a website by entering its URL. The browser also comes with a smart sidebar assistant that can help with content understanding, product comparisons, or data analysis on any tab.
OpenAI has added a "browser memory" feature to Atlas, allowing it to remember past sessions and personalize the experience based on that. However, the company has clarified that users will have complete control over what the browser remembers and what it doesn't.
Atlas's most popular feature is Agent Mode, which gives the AI browser the ability to interact with websites on the user's behalf. This feature empowers the browser to research multiple websites, purchase products, and plan trips. Currently, this feature is available in preview form for ChatGPT Plus, ChatGPT Pro, and Business users.
