CALIFORNIA (Kashmir English): OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Atlas, a web browser that integrates ChatGPT into everyday browsing, with a global release today for Free, Plus, Pro, and Go users. Windows, iOS, and Android versions are in the works.
Atlas positions ChatGPT in the new-tab workflow to manage queries, search, and writing inline without tab switching. The browser may leverage context from a user’s logged-in sites, currently open pages, and web history to customize responses and suggestions, OpenAI said.
The tool is designed to recall useful information from past sessions so it can surface pages, automate repetitive steps, and carry on unfinished work.
Users can command Atlas with natural-language orders—like reopening things a person looked at yesterday or cleaning up open tabs—and it carries out those actions within the browser.
OpenAI is also previewing an agent mode that natively executes on Atlas. In the preview, ChatGPT can perform actions directly in the browser on behalf of the user. Agent mode access is limited to Plus, Pro, and Business plans during the preview phase.
The firm prioritized privacy controls. Users can erase browsing history or turn on incognito mode. Browser memories are opt-in and accessible or controllable at any moment, and OpenAI stated that it doesn’t use the content individuals browse by default to train its models.
OpenAI positioned Atlas as one aspect of an overall thrust toward a context-sensitive assistant that assists in research, shopping, and planning, work and productivity, and learning in general. Further information, such as availability notes, use cases, safety information, and a product blog, is detailed in the company’s press materials.
