OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Atlas, a Chromium‑based browser that places its AI chatbot at the center of the web experience. Designed for macOS initially, the browser offers a minimalist interface, integrated search, and an “Ask ChatGPT” feature that can answer questions about the current page. Paid users gain access to an “agentic mode” that attempts to perform tasks such as adding items to shopping carts or scheduling appointments. Early testing shows the browser’s AI‑driven capabilities are functional but slower than competing AI browsers, and the overall browsing experience remains limited compared with traditional browsers.
