Overview

  • According to multiple sources, OpenAI is finalizing its own AI-powered browser and expects to launch it within weeks.
  • The browser is built on Chromium and includes a native ChatGPT interface to keep searches and summaries within the browser rather than navigating to external websites.
  • It integrates the Operator AI agent to autonomously complete tasks like booking reservations and filling out forms directly in users' browsing sessions.
  • By controlling the browser layer, OpenAI seeks direct access to browsing data to challenge Google's ad-driven model and reduce reliance on third-party platforms for user insights.
  • Other AI-driven browsers from Perplexity, The Browser Company and Brave have already rolled out, intensifying competition while Chrome faces increased antitrust scrutiny.
