Overview
- Atlas is available now on macOS for Free, Plus, Pro and Go users, with Windows, iOS and Android versions promised but not dated.
- A built-in ChatGPT sidebar scans the current page to provide contextual help, while paying subscribers can enable an agent that controls the cursor to book travel, fill forms or edit documents.
- OpenAI is positioning Atlas on the strength of ChatGPT’s reported 800 million weekly users to accelerate adoption.
- A pre-announcement video showing browser tabs briefly pushed Alphabet shares down nearly 5% before the stock recovered after the demo.
- The launch intensifies competition with Microsoft’s Edge/Copilot and Perplexity’s Comet against a regulatory backdrop that recently allowed Google to retain Chrome in a U.S. antitrust case.
