OpenAI has unveiled ChatGPT Atlas, a completely new web browser that integrates the power of artificial intelligence (AI) directly into your browsing experience.
The announcement was made via a live online presentation, and the browser is initially available for macOS users across the globe. OpenAI plans to release versions for Windows, Android, and iOS in the future, but specific release dates haven’t been announced yet.
ChatGPT Atlas features a built-in AI assistant, offering intelligent support as you navigate the web. Users with a paid ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription gain access to an additional “agent mode” for even greater functionality.

According to OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, this new browser embodies the company’s future-oriented vision of a more intuitive and interactive web experience, driven by conversational AI. He touted ChatGPT Atlas for its speed, ease of use, and efficiency.
ChatGPT Atlas is built upon the Chromium platform, the same open-source technology that powers popular browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. This allows Atlas to offer familiar web functionalities while deeply integrating AI capabilities.
The team behind ChatGPT Atlas featured prominently in the livestream event. Notable members include Will Ellsworth (AI research), Adam Fry (product lead for ChatGPT Search), Ben Goodger (a developer with previous experience on Chrome and Firefox), Ryan O’Rouke (interface design), Justin Rushing (formerly of Apple), and Pranav Vishnu.
