In a surprise livestream event today, OpenAI unveiled ChatGPT Atlas, an AI-powered web browser that competes with Chrome, Edge, and others. According to the company, ChatGPT Atlas is available “globally” on macOS starting today, with access to Windows, iOS, and Android “coming soon.”

ChatGPT Atlas Features:

• • Users can open the ChatGPT sidebar in any tab to summarize content, compare products, or analyze data for any website they visit.
  • ChatGPT Atlas can use ChatGPT’s memory capabilities to remember information, allowing it to display relevant details when needed.
  • In agent mode, ChatGPT can interact with websites, with users able to control it at any time if desired.
    ChatGPT can also be invoked inline from any text field on a website with a single click.
  • Users can choose which websites ChatGPT can access, clear their browsing history, use incognito mode, and manage browser memory at any time.
  • When performing general searches, users can easily switch between text, image, video, or news results, just like on Google or Bing.

However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that its “agent mode” is currently only available for ChatGPT Plus and Pro users. “We hope that the way people will use the internet in the future… a chat experience in a web browser can be a good analogy,” Altman said.
