Just now, OpenAI released its first AI browser, ChatGPT Atlas. What Google fears most has arrived.

OpenAI Releases AI Browser ChatGPT Atlas: Natively Embeds ChatGPT, Offers Sidebar, Browser Memory and Agent Mode, Can Understand Intentions on the Page and Automatically Complete Tasks Such as Filling Forms and Placing Orders.

OpenAI Launches Another Assault on Google!

Just now, OpenAI released a brand - new browser built around ChatGPT - ChatGPT Atlas.

The core features are as follows:

Built - in ChatGPT: Can be invoked on any page via the sidebar

Browser Memory: Search your browsing history

AI Agent: Can perform operations on the page

Some quick - witted netizens are already using ChatGPT Atlas to tweet!

Netizen "swyx" said that this is the most crucial step OpenAI has taken in obtaining the complete user context and building a fully personalized general artificial intelligence -

The next - generation operating system is the browser.

How much of a threat does ChatGPT Atlas pose to Google Chrome?

As soon as the product was released, the stock price of Google's parent company, Alphabet, dropped by more than 2% today.

Easy to Use, but Agent Mode Requires Payment

It's very easy to get started: When you open ChatGPT Atlas for the first time, log in to your ChatGPT account and import bookmarks, saved passwords, and browsing history from your current browser.

By the way, if you set it as your default browser, you'll get a 7 - day "membership" for free.

Today, macOS users around the world can download and use ChatGPT Atlas, including free, Plus, Pro, and Go users. Windows, iOS, and Android versions will be launched soon.

Meanwhile, the Beta version is already available to Business users; after enabling relevant permissions, Enterprise and Edu users can also use it.

The most crucial "Agent Mode" will be opened in preview form to Plus, Pro, and Business users. (Payment only)

It seems that another wave of startups is about to be wiped out.

AI Agent Officially "Takes Over" the Browser

With Atlas, ChatGPT can accompany you anywhere on the web:

In the current window, it directly provides assistance, understands your intentions, and helps you complete tasks without any need for copy - pasting or leaving the page.

Since Atlas has a built - in ChatGPT memory function, you can recall past chat records and details at any time during a conversation to help you efficiently complete new tasks.

The more you use Atlas, the smarter and more helpful ChatGPT will become.

The browser memory function allows ChatGPT to remember the context of the websites you've visited and recall it whenever you need.

This means you can ask ChatGPT questions like: "Find all the job openings I browsed last week and summarize the industry trends to help me prepare for interviews."

At the same time, you have full control over the browser memory: In the settings, you can view or archive memories at any time, and deleting your browsing history will also delete all related browser memories.

Through the Agent Mode, ChatGPT can also take on tasks for you in Atlas.

After improvements, it can better integrate with your browsing context, runs faster, and has a wider range of uses. Now it's better at research and analysis, task automation, and can help you plan events or make appointments while you're browsing the web.

When the agent controls the browser, the direction of the cursor is the opposite of what we're used to

After trying it out, some netizens summarized their experiences:

The Agent Mode can help with many things, such as ordering coffee with saved passwords in the browser or filling out the TSA PreCheck application form.

When the tab where the agent is located is in the background, it will be interfered with by content blockers.

Some websites prevent Atlas from summarizing content.

The agent operates very much like a real person. For example, it closes pop - ups by clicking on the blank area next to them.

The UI is great, and the onboarding for new users is super smooth. It makes very clever use of Mac's full - screen space, and the animation effects are amazing.

By the way, Atlas is still built on Google's Chromium kernel.

Looking at all these ads on the screen, I wonder if it supports ad - blocking plugins.

Seamless Workflow

The new tab page is your starting point in Atlas. Whether you're asking questions or entering a URL, you can get faster and more useful results in the same place.

If you want to explore specific result types other than chat, you can switch to tabs like search links, images, videos, and news.

Open a tab

Next, no matter what web page you open, click "Ask ChatGPT" to open the ChatGPT sidebar. You can summarize content, explain concepts, or handle various tasks without leaving the current window.

ChatGPT can understand the details of the page you're currently browsing, so its responses will be more relevant and helpful.

Ask ChatGPT

When you're typing in any text box, ChatGPT can also offer real - time editing and modification suggestions at any time.

Use the cursor

Customized for You

ChatGPT can remember the content you've explored and suggest your next actions, whether it's going back to recently visited pages, delving deeper into a topic, finding related inspiration, or automating daily tasks.

Personalized suggestions

When you need something, just ask.

Type "Reopen the shoes I looked at yesterday" or "Organize my tabs", and then leave the rest to ChatGPT.

Ask at will

Greater Capability, Greater Control

While you're browsing the web, you have full control over what you see and what you remember.

You can clear the records of specific pages, wipe out your entire browsing history, or open an incognito window to temporarily log out of your ChatGPT account.

If you enable browser memory, ChatGPT will remember the key details of the content you've browsed, thus optimizing chat responses and providing smarter suggestions.

For example, it can create a to - do list based on your recent activities or continue researching holiday gifts based on the products you've browsed.

Browser memory is part of the privacy of your ChatGPT account and is entirely under your control.

You can view all memories in the settings, archive content you no longer need, or delete
