OpenAI unveils ‘ChatGPT Atlas’ — an AI-first browser challenging Google Chrome

OpenAI officially released its new web browser, ChatGPT Atlas, globally for macOS users, with Windows, iOS and Android versions slated. The browser embeds the ChatGPT assistant as a sidebar across web content and introduces an ‘agent mode’ enabling the AI to perform browser tasks such as form-filling, shopping or data-analysis autonomously. The move steps up the competition in the AI-browser space, positioning OpenAI directly against Google’s Chrome, which still holds over 70 % global market share. Markets responded with Alphabet’s shares falling over 1.6 %.
