Last year OpenAI hired Chrome engineer Darin Fisher, which sparked speculation they might have their own browser in the pipeline. Today it arrived. ChatGPT Atlas is a Mac-only web browser with a variety of ChatGPT-enabled features. You can bring up a chat panel next to a web page, which will automatically be populated with the context of that page. The “browser memories” feature is particularly notable, described here: If you turn on browser memories, ChatGPT will remember key details from your web browsing to improve chat responses and offer smarter suggestions—like retrieving a webpage you read a while ago. Browser memories are private to your account and under your control. You can view them all in settings, archive ones that are no longer relevant, and clear your browsing history to delete them. Atlas also has an experimental “agent mode” where ChatGPT can take over navigating and interacting with the page for you, accompanied by a weird sparkle overlay effect.
