OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Atlas for macOS, a browser built around ChatGPT that has integrated search and assistant features.
A ChatGPT sidebar appears in any browser window to summarise content, compare products, or analyse data from the page you’re viewing, allowing you to find the additional information you need without leaving the current page.
One of the most significant features of ChatGPT Atlas is Agent Mode, which can open tabs and click through websites to complete tasks on the user’s behalf. According to OpenAI, it can research products, book appointments, or organise tasks inside your browser.
Why does it matter? Atlas blurs the line between browser and search engine by putting ChatGPT responses alongside traditional search results in the same view, allowing users to browse and ask questions simultaneously. It’s another major platform where AI-generated answers appear before organic links.
Versions for Windows, iOS, and Android are scheduled to launch in the coming months, but release dates have not been specified.
