Overview

• Atlas integrates an Ask ChatGPT sidebar, navigation memory and page-aware assistance to summarize content, manage tabs and act directly on websites without copying and pasting.
• The browser is available now for macOS with releases for Windows, iOS and Android planned soon, according to OpenAI.
• A preview of a paid Agent mode for ChatGPT Plus, Pro and Business subscribers can autonomously carry out tasks such as bookings or document edits.
• OpenAI says browsing history remains private and under user control, with site-level permissions that let people choose what the assistant can access.
