Let’s explain to you what ChatGPT Atlas is and how it worksthe internet browser created by OpenAI. It is an alternative to Chrome and the rest of the browsers that stands out for having the artificial intelligence of ChatGPT integrated, and is used both as a search engine and to interact with the content you see.
We are going to start the article by explaining what exactly this browser is like, both outside and inside. And then we will explain briefly how it works.
What ChatGPT Atlas is and how it works
ChatGPT Atlas is an internet browser created by OpenAI, one of the leading artificial intelligence companies. His proposal is to offer a vitaminized browser with AIso that you will be able to interact with ChatGPT at all times.
The browser is based on Chromiumwhich is the same open source base that other browsers such as Brave, Microsoft Edge or Chrome itself are based on. This means that all the websites you visit will work practically as well as with the other most popular browsers.
Using Chromium as a base also allows install the extensions available for Chrome. Come on, if you use extensions in Chrome, Edge or Brave, you may also be able to install them in Atlas.
Other more technical advantages of this browser are that you can render pages with Blink, the Chromium engine, use its standard APIs such as tabs, history, cookies or bookmarks, nothing changes, or run JavaScript, CSS and HTML5 like in any modern browser.
But the great attraction of the browser is its integration with ChatGPTwhich at launch uses the GPT-5 model, the same as the official AI app. You can use this artificial intelligence without having to open it in external tabssince it will be integrated into a native environment in the browser.
The AI model does not execute web code or directly access a page’s servers for security. Additionally, Interactions have limited permissions, nor do they access your data outside of the context in which you are using Atlas.
Yes indeed, you have the option to activate user memory. This means that ChatGPT will remember key data about things you talk about with the AI such as your interests such as personal tastes, personal contexts such as plants you may have at home, or styles. You can also deliberately ask him to remember things about you. These elements will be stored as small chunks called “facts” that you can configure in ChatGPT memory.
And what is this for in Atlas? Well, it allows the browser to remember interests and browsing routines, to adapt the explanations it gives you when reading websites and documents, or to maintain coherence in different contexts such as tabs, searches, or projects.
Imagine that ChatGPT has learned that you write in a digital medium about technological dissemination for beginners, as is my case. So, when you ask it to summarize a website, it will do so adapting to that context, and the explanation will be simpler and more colloquial to adapt to how you understand things.
Furthermore, at combine memory with browser toolsit will remember your web projects or research, maintain styles in different sessions, remember configurations, etc. If you search for laptops, for example, you can ask them to compare the results with what you searched the previous month.
How to use Atlas
To download the Atlas browser, you have to go to the website chatgpt.com/es-ES/atlas. At the moment it is only available on macOS. Once you download the browser, during the installation process you will be able to import the data from another browser you have installed, such as Chrome or Safari. This data is passwords, bookmarks, history, everything.
When you make the browser, you will see that it is very similar to Chrome. You will need to log in with your ChatGPT account, and then open a new tab ChatGPT will appear instead of Google to perform searches.
When you do it, you will have several types of search results. By default you will see the AI responses, but above there are tabs that will allow you to see website results, just like in Google, and image results. This way you won’t miss anything in your experience.
The other big change is when you are browsing any website. The browser has a button Ask ChatGPT which opens a column on the right where you can ask the AI anything related to the content of the website, such as a summary, or anything that comes to mind.
Besides, when you select a text and right clickin the context menu you will have an option to ask ChatGPT about this content. Thus, you will be able to obtain context of words or phrases in a simple and fast way.
Atlas also has a settings section where you can choose the appearance of the tabs, whether the bookmarks bar is displayed, and you can also control your browsing data and its customization. You’ll also be able to control your AI chat history directly from here, and much more.
