OpenAI unveiled its first artificial intelligence-powered web browser, putting the ChatGPT maker in competition on a new front with Google.
The browser, called ChatGPT Atlas, is designed to be a more personalized web experience and also field tasks such as booking flights and editing documents on a user’s behalf.
Each time a user visits a website within the browser, they will see an “Ask ChatGPT” that pulls up a sidebar to engage with what’s on the page.
The user might, say, open up a movie review, then ask ChatGPT to summarize it, or find a recipe and ask ChatGPT to help order the ingredients for it online.
“This is an AI-powered web browser built around ChatGPT,” OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said during a livestreamed event on Tuesday. He said AI “represents a rare, once-a-decade opportunity” to rethink the browser.
Atlas will be available globally on macOS to start, the company said, with plans to expand to Windows, iOS and Android “soon.” More advanced AI agent features will only be available to paid ChatGPT Plus and Pro users for now.
Google’s shares declined as much as 4.8% on the news.
