The competition to embed AI into everyday software is intensifying as tech companies push beyond standalone chatbots into the tools people use most. OpenAI has now released Atlas, a web browser with its conversational AI baked directly into the software.The product goes live on macOS for Free, Plus, Pro and Go users, with Windows, iOS and Android versions coming later. Rather than forcing users to juggle multiple windows and copy-paste between tabs, Atlas brings ChatGPT into the browser itself. The company says “AI gives us a rare moment to rethink what it means to use the web.”
The browser taps into ChatGPT’s memory features, pulling from previous conversations to inform new responses. It also introduces what OpenAI calls “browser memories”, which store context from sites you visit.
