OpenAI Launches ‘Atlas’ Search Browser, Taking on Google

ChatGPT creator OpenAI announced on Tuesday its new “Atlas” search browser, leveraging artificial intelligence in a direct challenge to Google Chrome.

“This is an AI-powered web browser built around ChatGPT,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said during a streamed presentation.

OpenAI has been intensifying its competition with Google, which has responded by rapidly adding AI features across its search engine and other platforms.

According to Reuters, shares of Alphabet, the parent company of Chrome, fell 2.6% in afternoon trading.

Atlas is the latest entrant in the growing market of AI-powered browsers, which includes Perplexity’s Comet and Opera’s Neon, as companies add tools that can summarise pages, fill out forms, and even draft code to attract users.

The browser allows users to open a ChatGPT sidebar in any window to summarise content, compare products, or analyse data from any website.

In the agent mode in Atlas, ChatGPT interacts with sites for users, who can use it to do tasks from start to finish, like researching and shopping for a trip.

The browser is now available globally on Apple's macOS. It will soon be made available on Windows, iOS and Android.

Reuters had in July reported the AI startup, backed by Microsoft, was close to releasing an AI-powered web browser that will challenge Alphabet's market-dominating Google Chrome.
