Overview
- Three sources told Reuters that OpenAI’s browser is scheduled to arrive in the coming weeks.
- The browser is built on Chromium’s open-source code and embeds a native, ChatGPT-style interface for conversational search and task assistance.
- Built-in AI agents are designed to carry out tasks such as booking reservations and filling out forms without leaving the browser.
- OpenAI aims to secure direct access to user browsing data to power its AI features and potentially reshape online advertising dynamics.
- Adoption by ChatGPT’s 400 million weekly active users could pressure Google’s ad-targeting business by diverting key data flows away from Chrome.
