OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Atlas, a new AI-powered browser that integrates its popular chatbot directly into the browsing experience. The company made the browser available on macOS this week, with support for Windows, iOS, and Android expected soon. Atlas is free to download and supports all ChatGPT account tiers, including Free, Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise.
ChatGPT Atlas replaces the traditional address bar with a chat-based interface, allowing direct interaction with AI features across any webpage. It eliminates the need to switch tabs or copy text, providing assistance in real time. The built-in sidebar enables ChatGPT to summarize articles, answer queries, and assist in completing tasks using the live content of the page.
OpenAI also introduces Agent Mode, a premium feature for Plus and Business subscribers. It enables ChatGPT to handle multi-step actions like online shopping, topic research, and automating routine workflows. It supports contextual assistance, allowing users to highlight text in emails, documents, or invites and receive help directly within the same tab.
The browser includes memory features that let ChatGPT retain browsing context, allowing it to resume tasks such as job searches, list creation, or content summarization. It also offers privacy controls that enable users to disable memory, switch to incognito mode, and limit visibility on specific websites.
Atlas allows data import from Google Chrome, including bookmarks, passwords, and browsing history. It can be set as the default browser through the settings menu, and new users receive higher rate limits during the first week.
OpenAI said the browser is part of its broader effort to reshape how users interact with the web. The launch comes amid growing competition from Google’s Gemini-powered Chrome and other AI-first browsers like Perplexity’s Comet.
According to OpenAI, ChatGPT now serves over 800 million weekly active users. The company aims to expand that number further by integrating AI tools directly into core digital workflows.
