We may be looking at more than just another technological launch. ChatGPT It has already altered the way many search for information. What was previously the exclusive domain of Google, now also passes through the OpenAI chatbot. With chatGPT Atlasthe company gives the step that many anticipated: a web browser that combines conversation, search and context in one environment.
In this area, OpenAI does not arrive alone. Perplexity had already presented its own browser with AI integration, Cometwhich also seeks to redefine the search experience. It remains to be seen if the commitment of the company led by Sam Altman manages to sustain the expectations that have flourished this time.
What is the OpenAI browser like?
The first thing we find when opening ChatGPT Atlas is a recognizable interface: a window very similar to that of ChatGPT itself. OpenAI appears to have designed the environment so that the transition between the assistant and the browser is natural, keeping the conversation at the heart of the experience.
Atlas preserves the basic functions of any browser—history, bookmarks, tabs—although the key is how we interact with it. The user can communicate in natural language, by text or by voiceto perform actions. You can ask, for example, to locate a recent page or to find a specific term within the history.
The most notable difference is in their agentic capacities. From the “Ask ChatGPT” button, located in the upper right corner, it is possible to activate agent mode to delegate tasks. The browser can also summarize the content of a website, analyze what appears on the screen or suggest actions based on the context. If we open a project on GitHub, for example, it could directly offer related commands or steps.
In addition, OpenAI has integrated several of its previous products into Atlas. Personalized suggestions based on recent usage appear on the home screen, an attempt to funnel user information into practical features. The approach is clear: unify conversation, search and assistance in the same operating environment.
