Meet Atlas The New AI Browser From OpenAI

A New Era of Web Browsing

OpenAI is changing the way we interact with the internet by launching ChatGPT Atlas, a groundbreaking web browser with ChatGPT integrated at its core. This new tool is designed to function as a seamless AI-powered assistant that fits directly into your daily browsing habits, offering the ability to understand context and provide responses in natural language.

Fidji Simo, CEO of Applications at OpenAI, highlighted the browser's capabilities, stating, “Atlas is built with ChatGPT at its core so it can enhance your experience all across the web. For example, you can open a ChatGPT sidebar on any page to summarise, explain, or handle tasks directly in the same window. It can provide more relevant answers and suggestions based on the page you’re viewing.”

Key Features of ChatGPT Atlas

The Atlas browser comes packed with features designed to make browsing more intuitive and efficient:

• Integrated Browsing Flow: You can open a new tab to ask ChatGPT a question, perform a search, or get assistance with writing directly in-line, eliminating the need to switch between tabs and copy-paste content.
• Context-Aware Assistance: Atlas uses information from your web history, currently open pages, and even logged-in sites to deliver more accurate and relevant answers and suggestions.
• Intelligent Memory: The browser can remember details from your sessions to help you quickly find pages you've visited, automate repetitive tasks, or continue previous work.
• Natural Language Commands: Interact with your browser using simple commands. You can tell Atlas things like, “re-open shoes I looked at yesterday” or “clean up my tabs,” and it will execute the task.
• Advanced Agent Mode: OpenAI is offering a preview of its ChatGPT agent within Atlas for Plus, Pro, and Business users. This mode allows the AI to work faster and more natively, executing complex tasks directly in the browser on your behalf.
• Full User Control: Atlas gives you complete control over your data. You can clear your browsing history at any time or use incognito mode for enhanced privacy.

A Commitment to Privacy and Safety

Simo also emphasized the company's focus on user trust, assuring users, “As always, we’ve prioritised safety, privacy and control, so you decide what ChatGPT can see and remember from your browsing history, and agent mode always operates within clear boundaries.”
