ChatGPT Atlas is here. It’s the biggest nightmare in the history of Google

by

OpenAI has launched Atlas, your first browserand Alphabet has seen $150 billion in market capitalization evaporate in a matter of hours. Shares fell 4.8% shortly after the announcement, recovering slightly to close down 2.4%. The market reaction was no coincidence: Atlas is not (just) Chrome with a chatbot stuck on top, it is a browser designed from scratch around ChatGPT. Why is it important. For two decades, Google has controlled how we access the Internet through a lethal combination: Chrome as a gateway and Google Search as a mandatory destination. Atlas breaks that logic. If your browser has an AI assistant with memory that remembers your preferences, performs complex tasks for you, and directly answers your questions, the traditional search bar no longer makes sense. It is therefore not an incremental improvement, but rather a paradigm shift in the way we navigate. In detail. Atlas eliminates the address bar as the nerve center of the browser and replaces it with ChatGPT. Users can open a side panel in any window to summarize content, compare products, or analyze data without switching tabs. But the star functionality is the “agent mode“, currently reserved for paying subscribers: ChatGPT literally takes control of the mouse and keyboard, surf the web on your behalf, fill out forms, research travel options, add ingredients to the shopping cart. In yesterday’s demo, an OpenAI developer showed how the agent found a recipe and automatically purchased all the ingredients, a process that took several minutes but required no human intervention. “Browser memory” is another key piece. Atlas can remember what you’ve searched for before, what sites you’ve visited, and what projects you have in hand, using that data to suggest actions or automate routines it detects in your behavior. Everything is optional, but the message is clear: OpenAI wants Atlas to know you better than you know yourself. Nothing new with AI. The figures. OpenAI has 800 million weekly active ChatGPT users, double the number in February. Chrome has 3 billion and 71.9% global share. Google controls 90% of the search advertising market. Atlas sounds like a prelude to advertising coming to ChatGPT. Somehow they have to monetize the free users, who not only don’t pay OpenAI, but cost them money. And if OpenAI enters advertising, Google has the most to lose: it could be revenue that stops coming to them. Yes, but. Initial tests of ChatGPT agents have shown slow and imprecise results, where it is very effective to see the browser do tasks for us, but also much slower than if we take care of a few clicks. Plus, the hallucinations are still there. Google has a structural problem– Your business depends on people clicking on ads. If Atlas delivers direct answers without visiting web pages, Google loses. It has integrated Gemini into Chrome and added AI summaries to the results, but the basis of its model remains the same. Internet Explorer seemed invincible in 2007. Within five years, Chrome had surpassed it by offering something substantially better. The 150 billion drop in Alphabet’s capitalization is a sign that investors believe there is a chance that history could repeat itself. In Xataka | Privacy is dying since ChatGPT arrived.

This is ChatGPT Atlas, the new asset with which it seeks to continue leading AI

by

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. In development.

WhatsApp Business prohibits access to ChatGPT, Luzia and all generalist chatbots in its business API. Only one survives

by

Meta has updated the conditions of use of its WhatsApp business API to prohibit access to third-party generalist chatbots, as reported TechCrunch. The measure, which comes into effect on January 15, 2026, affects tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Luzia and Poke. Meta AI From then on, it will be the only generalist AI assistant that will remain operational on the platform. Why is it important. WhatsApp has more than 3 billion monthly active users, which has turned the platform into an unrivaled distribution channel for AI companies. The decision consolidates Meta’s control over the AI ​​experience in its ecosystem and eliminates direct competitors that had free access to its huge user base. The blow to Luzia. The Spanish chatbot, created after the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, went viral precisely due to its integration with WhatsApp. Its star feature—the automatic transcription of voice audio—turned Luzia in a phenomenon. WhatsApp later incorporated this same function natively. That viral hook led Luzia to reach one million users very quickly. At the beginning of this year, in a report in which we analyze his state at that timehad 60 million users in 40 countries, having raised 30 million euros in financing. The startup operates both as a standalone mobile application for iOS and Android… …as a service integrated into WhatsApp, although with more limited functions in this latest version. Between the lines. Meta justifies the change by arguing that generalist chatbots generate an excessive volume of messages that overloads its systems and requires a type of support for which the company is not prepared. However, the context suggests other types of motivations: WhatsApp’s business API is one of the main sources of income for the platform. Meta charges businesses based on different message templates: marketing, utilities, authentication, and support. The problem is that there was no specific category for AI chatbots, which meant that companies like OpenAI or Luzia were accessing WhatsApp’s infrastructure and audience without paying for it. The money trail. During the presentation of results for the first quarter of 2025, Mark Zuckerberg stressed that enterprise messaging was “the next big opportunity” to generate income. “Enterprise messaging should be the next pillar of our business,” he explained. In this context, allowing competitors like OpenAI to distribute their products for free through WhatsApp is not only a technical burden, but a lost business opportunity. Meta has clarified that the ban does not affect companies that use AI as an auxiliary tool to serve their customers. A travel agency operating a customer service bot or a bank with an automated assistant can continue to operate without problems. The key distinction is that AI should be an “incidental or auxiliary” functionality, not the core product. ANDn game. Luzia will have to concentrate its efforts on its native mobile applications. The startup still operates without a defined business model, financing itself exclusively through venture capital. In January 2025, its CEO Álvaro Higes explained that its future strategy will likely include advertisements and sponsored links. ChatGPT, Perplexity and the rest of the generalist chatbots have less than three months to prepare their departure from WhatsApp. For users, the transition will mean migrating to these services’ native apps or settling for Meta AI as the only in-app option.

Privacy is dying since ChatGPT arrived. Now our obsession is for AI to know us as best as possible

by

For years we have learned to distrust. Not to share too much, to be suspicious of each clickof each form, of each extra permission that the mobile phone or some app asked us for. To frown. Privacy was the last bastion of digital dignity, the ground we had to defend. But something has changed. And he has done it without resistance. Since ChatGPT and company arrived, and especially since the projects and expanded memorywe have crossed an invisible line. We no longer just agree to hand over our data, we offer it proactively. What’s more, we get frustrated when AI doesn’t remember enough, or when it’s not able to quickly process a report or analytics. Or when it doesn’t anticipate what we want. The paradox is brutal. We’ve gone from being outraged that Instagram showed us an overly personal and painfully targeted ad (shirts that camouflage lorzas, infertility treatments) to being impatient if ChatGPT doesn’t remember something we could use it to remember. Of the “I don’t want to be tracked” to “why the hell don’t you know me better by now?” The difference comes from the perception of immediate usefulness: social platforms monetized our data by selling their access to third parties to segment ads, AI uses it to give us more useful answers. Or so we think. The trick is in the illusion of reciprocity: When you provide information to a social network, you receive in return content that you did not ask for and advertisements that you do not want, no matter how accurate they may be. When you hand it over to an AI, you get personalized responses, assistance tailored to you, solutions that seem designed exclusively for your case. In the second case, the transaction feels fair. Symmetrical. Even generous on the part of the machine. But the architecture of power has not changed. She has only become more seductive. Now they don’t watch us, they understand us. And they don’t track us, but they remember us. Language matters, because it changes how we perceive what we are giving up. We have gone from being spied on to being cared for. And that makes a psychological difference, even though the end result is the same: handing over the entire map of who we are to entities we do not control. Privacy is not dead. He is giving up due to exhaustion. Because defending something that makes our lives more difficult, that deprives us of comfort and efficiency, is unsustainable when the alternative promises to know us so well that it frees us from explaining ourselves over and over again.

control who sells and where you buy, all in ChatGPT

by

A few days ago we talked about how OpenAI is turning ChatGPT into the Windows of AI. It’s not really about whether OpenAI is building an operating system. It’s about what kind of power you’re looking for. And the answer lies in two models that define exactly what OpenAI pursues: Apple’s App Store and WeChat in China. The App Store controls distribution. Decide what apps exist, how they are promoted, what commissions are charged. WeChat centralizes functionality. Within a single app you do absolutely everything: you call, you shop, you order taxis, you pay bills, you reserve restaurants. OpenAI wants both things at the same time. And so far no one has achieved it. The moment. Apple actively blocked superapps on iOS. The documents from the Epic v. Apple trial made it very clear: allowing one app to do everything “would threaten the monopoly” because “adherence to the system would decrease.” Apple called it “letting in the barbarians.” Meta tried it with Facebook. Musk, in his own way, tries with X. They failed because Apple didn’t let them and because they didn’t have the right platform. The play. Ben Thompson, of Stratecheryhe sees it clearly: OpenAI follows Microsoft’s original strategy with Windows. Apple integrates hardware and software, controls everything, but leaves room for competitors because it cannot serve all markets. Microsoft dominated without having to sell hardware. He only controlled the platform. OpenAI does exactly that: Control the interface. Control who users reach. And let others build on top. The difference with 2023-2024 is enormous. So They launched the GPT Store. Failure. Our own GPTs were and are very useful, but those of others were isolated in a store that no one visited. Now the Spotify, Canva, Zillow, Uber or Booking apps are not in a separate store. They are integrated into the core of the experience. They appear when they are relevant. They work within the chat. Who is this good for?: For developers, they receive immediate access to 800 million weekly users without going through Apple or Google. Without building an audience from scratch. But in exchange, they have absolute dependence on an OpenAI that decides which apps are approved, which ones stand out, or how they are monetized. If your app competes with something OpenAI wants to do, you’re out. It is the classic dilemma of platforms. Rapid growth in exchange for zero control. For companies that sell products, the rules of the game change completely. Before you would type “hotels in Valencia” in Google and browse through ten results. Now you have to explicitly say “search on Booking” or “search on Airbnb”. Strong brands in people’s minds will survive. Those that lived off organic traffic from Google will disappear. There are entire businesses that prospered thanks to SEO in the Google era. Those businesses were never really strong because they were optimizations for a specific technological era. The wave of snippets several of those businesses were loaded in the search results. The next wave will sweep away a few more. The problem. Microsoft is OpenAI’s largest investor and infrastructure partner. But now they compete directly. Microsoft launched Copilot Studioits own platform for businesses to create custom agents. And that competes head-on with what OpenAI has just launched. If OpenAI had remained a simple model provider, Microsoft would have turned it into commodity. This app platform is a declaration of independence. It is pure coopetition: partners who must compete for the dominant role. What’s at stake. Sam Altman summed it up this week: “Most people will want to have a single AI service, and that service has to be useful throughout their lives.” Your entire life not understood as “from today until you die”, but rather as “all areas of your life.” Work and pleasure, leisure and business. What OpenAI pursues is not to be one platform among many. It is to be the platform: The place where everything happens. Where users spend their time. Where companies have to be to exist. Apple without the hardware. WeChat without regulatory restrictions. The App Store without the bottleneck of manual approval. Everything at once. Maybe they will get it. Maybe not. But they are executing the perfect play at the perfect time. And that, in technology, is sometimes enough. Another thing is that Excel resists.

You thought you had an amazing connection on Tinder, but you were actually chatting with ChatGPT

by

Fuck you cat in a hare when flirting on Tinder It’s been happening since the app existed; photos taken from the perfect angle to capture a great guy, descriptions that do not fit reality or outright false information. Now we have to add one more risk: that the person with whom you have been chatting for days and having deep conversations is using ChatGPT to respond to you. Chatfishing. It is the fashionable term to define this trend. If ‘catfish’ is being deceived with a fake profile, ‘chatfish’ is when the other person uses an AI to prepare their responses and thus more easily conquer their “prey”. We don’t talk about fake profiles that are actually botsbut from real people who use a chatbot to plan their responses and seem like the perfect couple. There are even those who you have created an automation and let ChatGPT take the wheel. New disappointments. Fake profiles were already a problem on dating apps before AI, but in the age of AI it still adds another layer to distrust. In this Guardian report They tell the stories of some victims of this practice, like Rachel, who had a very deep connection with a man that only lasted while they were chatting. Upon meeting him in person he felt that he was “someone he had never spoken to.” I had been talking to ChatGPT. quite common. There are those who use the AI as a psychologist or directly to fall in love with one. Wear AI to improve a Tinder profile and even to help us flirt doesn’t sound crazy at all in the current context. How common is it? There is no way to know exactly, but the truth is that more and more news that narrates this type of situations. It is also not difficult to find posts on forums like Reddit. users sharing their experience after being ‘chatfished’, others showing your suspicions and even who admits to using ChatGPT to flirt. Laziness. Flirting on Tinder can be exhaustingis what is known as ‘dating fatigue’. Getting a match is easy compared to starting the conversation and maintaining interest on both sides. According to one survey conducted by Forbes78% of dating app users in the US felt tired of using them. Given this scenario, there are those who are choosing to automate some of these interactions to try to stand out among other profiles without having to invest a lot of time. The ‘chatfisher’ profile. In the report that we have already mentioned from The Guardian, several users who turn to AI to flirt tell their reasons. Nick sees it as a tool to improve his connection with his matches, but he assures that if he feels a connection with someone, he is the one who takes control of the conversation. There are also people, like Holly, who use it to help improve their communication skills, for example to make a message sound softer if they are upset about something. Of course there are those who use it simply to increase their matches and thus get more dates. Jamil tells how he ended up in a Discord where other men exchanged advice. The modus operandi was to ask the girl about her hobbies, favorite movies and things like that and then give it to ChatGPT so that it can “create answers that make you seem like the perfect couple.” And it seems that the method works because it ensures that he got many more appointments. Apps also use AI. At the beginning of the year, Tinder announced that it was going to implement AI to suggest possible connections to users. By answering a series of questions, the app creates a list of suggested profiles each day. If you also give access to your photo roll, the AI ​​is capable of detecting interests to refine the search. Other apps like Hinge or Bumble also have similar features, but Bumble takes it further with an AI assistant that helps you break the ice with catchy phrases. Of course, at the moment they have only enabled it in the version of the app to find friends. Cover image | Pexels 1, 2 In Xataka | Singles are fed up with Tinder.

Chatgpt began as a simple assistant of AI. OpenAI wants to turn it into your future operating system

by

OpenAi wants to change everything with chatgpt. The chatbot of AI He no longer wants to be a chatbot of AI with whom we talk: he wants to do everything for us. And to do so the idea is to turn ChatgPT into something surprising: an operating system with which you will talk and talk to ask for things. Why is it important. The developer event held yesterday by OpenAI allowed reveal a new application platform that wants to have ChatgPT as a central axis. The new philosophy makes all types of third -party services work directly within Chatgpt, which connects them and converts them in part of a promising user experience. Surprising examples. During the presentation they were shown various cases of use in which a user simply planned a chatgpt trip and it connected to Booking or needed a training course and the chatbot served it with extra comments connecting to Coursera. OpenAI already has a preliminary version of the SDK that will allow developers create applications that can then interconnect with chatgpt As those first examples already do among those that are Spotify, Canva, Zillow, or the aforementioned Booking and Coursera. It is not a “superapp”, it is something more. The search for a new surface has been for example a particular obsession of Elon Musk. Its objective was to convert X (formerly Twitter) into a surface similar to Wechat, which is that “tool to do everything” that triumphs in China. This SUPERAPP integrates a lot of own services, but also to minialyucations with which the user must operate quite manually. With chatgpt the intention is another. Machine, do everything for me. With operating systems such as Windows or MacOS what we normally ask when doing something is “What app I need to perform this task?” With this apparent chatgpt transformation into an operating system we can simply tell the chatbot “I want to do this task” to complete it. Second attempt. Openai already really tried something like that with the GPT store that launched in January 2024 and allowed to create “personalized GPTS”. Although the company presumed that they had been created More than three million of these GPTSthese “widgets” were nothing more than slight modifications of the Traditional Chatgpt assistant. Although the idea was promising That did not curdle, but this attempt is much more ambitious, especially because now Chatgpt wants to become a kind of orchestra director that connects to all kinds of services to do what the user needs at all times with simple prompts written or spoken. A de facto operating system. Openai’s proposal resembles – at least, conceptually – to what we usually conceive as a modern operating system. Its fundamental function is to serve as an interface between the user and the machine, and here Chatgpt wants to be something similar. It doesn’t matter the hardware and application, because it is Chatgpt that interprets the user’s intention and then connects with the most appropriate applications for each task. Monetization. In Openai they also mentioned that they are preparing the integration of His new agentic commerce protocol to allow payments between services and users. There was no talk of what kind of economic agreement signs Booking or Spotify when they interact with chatgpt, but it is evident that for these services the traffic that comes from chatgpt can be very valuable, and it is reasonable to think that Openai takes a commission if economic transactions are completed. OpenAI VE Chatgpt as an operating system. Nick Turley, head of the Product of Chatgpt in Openai, explained In a subsequent conversation with means what was the vision of the company: “What you will see during the next six months is an evolution of Chatgpt, which will go from being a really very useful application to become something that will look a little more to an operating system.” Developers, come to me. For your idea to succeed, OpenAi needs be available globally. This tool now offers additional characteristics To, for example, connect it to Slack or use it as an SDK to integrate into other workflows. Of the mouse and the keyboard to the conversation. Chatgpt raises that future we have been talking about: one in which instead of using mouse and keyboard to handle our computer We will use text and voice prompts. The interaction theoretically will have to think about how we want to do things – that will already be in charge of chatgpt and the services to which it connects – and more what things we want to do. It is a radical change that promises to get closer even more to do everything with machines … to depend more than ever on them.

Openai has just opened the door to a new way of using apps with chatgpt

by

The next time you ask for Chatgpt Help you mount the playlist for your birthday, the chatbot may go one step further. You may propose to do it directly with Spotify and, if you connect your account, offer you add the list to your profile with a single touch. And not only is limited to Spotify. Openai has just considered a new way of using applications. The company directed by Sam Altman has announced An update that allows you to use apps from the conversation window itself, in natural language and without the need to open eyelashes or leave the chat. Some functions also incorporate small visual interfaces adapted to the chatbot environment to offer a more fluid experience. A few apps to start. In order for applications to work within Chatgpt, developers must integrate OpenAi SDK and accept their conditions, designed to guarantee a safe experience. The project is still in an early stage. The SDK is in preliminary version and, for now, only seven companies participate in the pilot. Openai has selected them to show how this new applications integration within the chat will work: Booking.com Canva Coursera Figma Expedia Spotify Zillow How apps are used in chatgpt. There are two ways to use them. The first is to mention them directly if we know they are compatible. The second, more automated, occurs when Chatgpt himself suggests connecting an app to continue a task. It is an interesting function, although it can be somewhat invasive for some users. For example, if we have a linked Canva, it would be enough to write “Canva, can you turn this scheme into a presentation?” The application would generate different versions from the content. With Expedia, we could ask you to look for hotels in Chicago with King bed for less than $ 250 a night, and the integrated app in charge of the rest. The striking of this new generation of applications is how it combines family interactive elements, such as maps, lists or presentations, with the naturalness of a conversation. There are limitations. At the moment, the novelty has clear limits. Only a few apps are compatible, the support is available only in English and, at least for now, it cannot be used in the European Union. Openai has not explained the reasons, although everything points to the privacy regulations that usually slow the launch of new artificial intelligence functions in the region. The company states that it works to offer it “soon” also in the community block. Security and privacy. By using integrated applications, users are subject to both OpenAI terms and those of each connected service. The company has urged developers to “include clear privacy policies, collect only the necessary minimum data and be transparent with the requested permits.” It also promises “more granular” privacy controls so that each user can decide which specific categories or data can use each application to customize the results. The data business. The data is the new gold. Not literally, but in value. From the beginning of segmented advertising to the rise of artificial intelligence, companies have demonstrated a voracious appetite for user information. That is why it is convenient to review the privacy policies of the applications that we use: to understand how our data is collected and process, at this point, almost as important as using them.

Openai not only dominates in ia. Now the App Store in the United States with Sora and Chatgpt is also “eating”

by

Getting to the podium of the most popular free applications of the App Store is the dream of any developer. It is not just about adding downloads: it means achieving a massive user base and enviable visibility. For many, the reasoning is automatic: “If this app has come here, something must have.” In that scenario, Openai is marking a milestone. The company of Sam Altman barely has two applications and both They occupy the highest positions of the ranking in the United States. It is a direct reflection of the interest that arouses among users and the influence that the firm has acquired in a matter of months. A surprise launch. On Tuesday, after announcing with just a couple of hours in advance, an event, Openai presented a new version of its video generator. But the real surprise came later: An application with a spirit of Tiktoklaunched at the moment in the United States and Canada under invitation. A brilliant rise. Although its access was limited, the app began to add downloads quickly. In just one day it reached 56,000 facilities, According to Appfiguresand this Friday had already become the most unloaded application in the country. An immediate irruption reminiscent of the viral phenomena of other times. The success of Sora by OpenAi It soon reflected in Apple’s official data. The app has reached the first place of the section “Top Charts”surpassing a GeminiGoogle’s chatbot, already Chatgptthe other application of Openai itself. Besides, it also dominates The photo and video category. Much more than download. Being up in the App Store does not depend only on the volume of facilities. Specialists in the field They point out that Apple uses an algorithm that, in addition to downloads, values ​​the retention of users, reviews, the stability of the app and other decisive factors. The details of the algorithm, however, are unknown. The viral factor. Sora’s proposal has met expectations: becoming a viral content factory. Its dynamics encourages users to star in their own memes and share them in a social environment That, in turn, multiplies its reach. The result is an addictive experience that is gaining ground at high speed. OpenAI in front of the usual giants. Today, the place that once occupied WhatsApp, Facebook or Messenger is claimed by OpenAi applications. In the United States general list, the first finish applies appears in the fourth position with Threadsand it is not until the 13th place that we find WhatsApp. What we are seeing is an OpenAi settlement in the digital life of millions of people. The company not only marks the step in artificial intelligence: it is also conquering one of the most influential platforms in the world, the App Store.
