It took them a while, but OpenAI finally brought forth a web browser of their own, fully fueled by their top of the market AI chatbot, ChatGPT. The latest addition to the market ruled by Google Chrome is called ChatGPT Atlas, and what makes it unique is the fact that it was built fully around ChatGPT, and it is not your standard browser with AI assistance. Every search, every tab, and every query will have your best AI chatbot helper right there by your side.

Thanks to the combo OpenAI created, you will now have quick summaries of all long articles in the palm of your hands even before you need them, emails will be written directly from the page you're visiting without needing to switch tabs, and all you do while searching the web will be consumed faster and done quicker. At the moment, statistics show that the latest AI-powered browsers have access to 45.7% of the market, while the leader Chrome stands at 68%.

OpenAI plans to take over with the creation of Atlas by making every web search a chat instead, making it more appealing to your regular customer. By having the chatbot lurking with you on every page, detailed searches will now be possible without needing to switch between tabs. All the necessary questions will be handled by your AI assistant. Of course, the option to open multiple tabs will be there, but you will do this if you want, and not because you must. Atlas is all about providing the best possible search result while saving time for the user, and with such an approach, OpenAI has high expectations for its latest product.

The Key Summary of What ChatGPT Atlas Actually Is

At its core, yes, it is just another web browser. Yet, as it's powered by the best AI chatbot in the market, you can search the web while chatting with it. Due to this not-so-small trait, web browsing will be faster and much easier. Also, OpenAI installed the feature which is called Agent Mode, which has the ability to do various tasks in your stead. It can book your appointments, plan travel, book flights and hotels, plan meals, and even be there for you, read news instead of you, consume content, and help you make better picks and predictions based on the betting markets, team form, and team news during the week if you're into online gambling.

As we said, no need for switching tabs leads to faster searches and saves time. Just like with any other browser, the option to choose to save your history is there. What's different with Atlas is that it treats your web search history as memories, making it easier for the AI chatbot to access it and retrieve the data you want from your previous searches. By being able to summarise your previous searches, it can aid you in not only doing your work faster but also smarter.

Privacy controls have also been prioritised following earlier criticism, with data storage options left fully in the hands of the user.

What is ChatGPT Atlas?

Atlas is an AI-powered web browser. According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman it holds the power to change the manner in which users use the Internet to date. The homepage of Atlas is a simple box where you can type your questions, or as they're called in the AI world, commands.

While Atlas introduces chatting with websites instead of searching them like before, many things will remain identical to the browser you're already using. The top examples of this include:

  • Tabs, bookmarks, and password tools are all still present and will be there to help make your browsing of the web even more enjoyable.
  • While bookmarks and history will be there just like on your old browser, you will not have to manually access them. Instead, you can chat your way to them, as memory that Atlas will recollect will allow ChatGPT to go to where you want it by only using a few words.
  • Now, you will be able to write an email or fill out a form while still in your browser, and on any selected page. There will be no need to switch tabs to make any action.

While everything we've said might sound too futuristic for people who are not using ChatGPT every day, it is actually a reality. For those using it daily, the fact that Atlas is running on GPT 4.5 Turbo says everything they need to know about Atlas abilities. This AI engine is able to give fast replies for any query you might have, it remembers what you were looking for before, and aids in future searches by being constructive based on your last searches. With time, its assistance will get better and better.

Tips and summaries based on your memories will be there in a matter of seconds, right before you jump onto your next search. This browser might be an ideal option for people who love to spend time at their favorite crypto casino, and making parlays based on picks & predictions spread all over the web. Atlas will have access to past data, and with its ability to search the web in real time, making bet builders just got a lot easier.

How does it work?

Atlas is an AI browser built fully around ChatGPT. So, it's not like some other browsers that only added the AI chatbot feature to their already existing browser. With Atlas, ChatGPT is present in every tab, and it serves as a replacement for the good old search bar.

While many other browsers have joined their AI technology with it, Atlas promises that it did it better. ChatGPT will be there with you on every page and provide help through the context aware assistance. When you pair this with the possibility to finish every task in only one tab, you get the speed about which OpenAI speaks when talking about Atlas performances.

With ChatGPT being present on every page, and the ability to invoke the Agent Mode of Atlas, you can ask as many questions you like while being on a single page, while AI chatbot looks elsewhere, and for all of the data you've compiled to be served to the Agent who will be able to do various things for you such as booking or shopping.

How to get an Atlas Browser?

Atlas needs to be downloaded from the ChatGPTs official website. At the moment, you can only download it for macOS, but according to Sam Altman it is coming to iOS, Windows, and Android in the not so distant future. Once downloaded you need to install it just like you would any other Mac app. Once installed, you open it, and the fun of fast & smart browsing can begin.

Once installed, you will have to sign in to use Atlas. If you're already a ChatGPT user, it will be done through your account. If not, you will need to open one for the AI chatbot first, and then join the Atlas family. You will have the option of picking a Plus or Pro account. When you decide, Atlas will import all of your ChatGPT data which should be of great help for your first search queries.

With all of this said, go and try Atlas if you're a macOS user. If not, wait a bit longer; it will be worth the wait.
