OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Atlas Browser for Mac With Built-In AI and Agent Preview

The macOS-only debut embeds ChatGPT into browsing to deepen engagement through a paid preview of autonomous tasks.

Overview

  • Atlas is available worldwide for macOS, with versions for Windows, iOS and Android planned but without firm dates.
  • An always-on sidebar lets ChatGPT read pages, summarize content, recall previous sites or tasks, and act on natural-language requests without tab switching.
  • The preview Agent mode can perform actions such as opening sites, filling forms or booking travel, initially limited to Plus, Pro and Business subscribers.
  • OpenAI says users control permissions, can delete the browser’s memory, use an incognito mode, and that page content will not be used to train its models.
  • Built on Chromium and positioned against Chrome and other AI-enabled browsers, the release targets new revenue opportunities as Alphabet shares slipped following the announcement.
