OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Atlas, a web browser built around its chatbot technology. The browser is available on macOS for Free, Plus, Pro, and Go users, with future versions planned for Windows, iOS, and Android. Business users can access the browser in beta, and it is also available for Enterprise and education accounts.
Atlas integrates ChatGPT directly into the browsing experience, allowing users to access a sidebar for summarizing information, comparing products, or analyzing data from any website. Designed as both a workspace and an assistant, it performs tasks seamlessly as users browse.
Atlas serves as an AI companion, understanding user activities across the internet. It facilitates tasks such as research, shopping, and scheduling directly within the browser. Users can either type a web address or query ChatGPT when opening a new tab. Search results can be filtered into categories like links, images, videos, or news articles.
Atlas offers suggestions based on previous user activity, recalling earlier searches to provide related information. Users have the option to view, archive, or delete these memories in settings. The browser ensures privacy by allowing users to disable ChatGPT's visibility on any site, and incognito mode is available to prevent saving of browsing and chat activities.

Agent mode allows ChatGPT to take direct actions within the browser, such as planning events, finding stores, and completing purchases under user supervision. The mode, available in preview for Plus, Pro, and Business accounts, is equipped with safety measures. The AI is restricted from running code, downloading files, or installing extensions, and it pauses on sensitive sites.
OpenAI has conducted extensive testing to identify vulnerabilities, focusing on protecting against unintended actions. While acknowledging no system is flawless, the company commits to ongoing updates to enhance security.
Atlas provides comprehensive user control over memory and site interactions. Browser memories are stored privately, and the system does not use browsing content for model training unless users opt in. Parental controls are integrated, ensuring existing ChatGPT restrictions apply in Atlas, with options to disable memories or agent mode.
OpenAI aims to enhance web browsing interactivity, planning updates for multi-profile support and improved developer tools. Website owners can optimize page compatibility with the ChatGPT agent by incorporating ARIA tags. Frequent updates are anticipated to refine user interaction with web content through ChatGPT.
