ChatGPT Atlas is an AI-powered web browser developed by OpenAI that integrates ChatGPT directly into the browsing experience. Unlike traditional browsers designed around search bars and tabs, Atlas is built around conversation. Users can chat with web pages, ask questions about what they see online, and use AI assistance without switching between apps or tabs. This conversational model reimagines how people explore, learn, and get things done on the internet.

At its core, Atlas combines the features of a modern browser—tabs, bookmarks, autofill—with ChatGPT’s ability to understand context and assist dynamically. Three foundational features define it: chat anywhere (AI assistance across any webpage), browser memory (a personalized browsing experience that remembers preferences and context), and agent mode (autonomous task execution). Agent mode allows ChatGPT to perform actions within the browser, such as organizing tasks, making reservations, or editing documents, all under user supervision.

Atlas also introduces personalization and safety as key principles. The browser learns from user interactions to offer smarter suggestions and tailored experiences, while giving users control over data and permissions. Agent actions remain confined to browser tabs, and users can decide what sites or sessions the agent can access.

Launched initially for macOS with plans for Windows and mobile versions, ChatGPT Atlas represents OpenAI’s effort to redefine the browser as an intelligent, collaborative partner—helping users search, work, and create through natural conversation rather than traditional clicks and forms.
