OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Atlas AI Browser: 5 Reasons Why You Should Try It Now

OpenAI launched its AI-powered browser called Atlas with ChatGPT at the center of the experience. The San Francisco-based AI startup markets Atlas as a fast and flexible browser made for the next era of the web. Atlas feels very familiar to a traditional browser, but has some neat tricks that set it apart. Here are the top 5 features of Atlas you should know. 1) ChatGPT as companion: ChatGPT rides with the user while using the web on Atlas. The browser is present in the sidebar and can be summoned at any moment by clicking on the “Ask ChatGPT” option. The AI ​​chatbot can be used to compose emails, code directly in the browser, auto-fill forms, summarize information from the web page and answer any questions about it. 2) Personalized Browsing: Atlas comes with memory, which means ChatGPT can remember the websites the user visited and what they did on them and use that information to personalize its responses. OpenAI says users can ask ChatGPT in Atlas questions like, “Find all the job postings I looked at last week and create a summary of industry trends so I can prepare for interviews.” The company notes that browser memories are optional and that users can view or archive them in the settings. 3) AI Powered Search: Unlike the traditional browser, when you search from the status bar in Atlas, your searches are not directed via Google Search or Bing. Instead, they are sent via ChatGPT. OpenAI says it has significantly improved the ChatGPT search experience for Atlas by adding support for contextual tabs for traditional searches, images, videos or news stories, giving an experience similar to a traditional search engine. When users click on a search result, Atlas opens the link in a split view with the chat sidebar. 4) Agent Mode: The standout feature of Atlas is the introduction of an Agent Mode that can take actions on behalf of a user. The feature, which takes inspiration from ChatGPT Agent, can be used to book restaurant reservations, order groceries, create shopping lists, compare options and complete multiple tasks. OpenAI says ChatGPT agent is now better at researching and analyzing, automating tasks and planning events or booking appointments while browsing. 5) Inline Editing: OpenAI streamlines the most used task of ChatGPT – text editing – further with Atlas. Users can select the text in areas such as email and then click directly on the ChatGPT icon to clean it up or change its tone. The process removes the need to copy and paste information and switch between different browser tabs.
