OpenAI looks for its “Google Chrome” moment with new Atlas web browser
Back in 2008, Google launched the Chrome browser to help better integrate its industry-leading search engine into the web-browsing experience. Today, OpenAI announced the Atlas browser that it hopes will do something similar for its ChatGPT large language model, answering the question What if I could chat with a browser?" as the OpenAI team put it.
OpenAI Founder and CEO Sam Altman said in a live stream announcement that Atlas will let users chat with a page," helping ChatGPT become a core way that users interact with the place where a ton of work and life happens" online. The way that we hope people will use the Internet in the future... is that the chat experience and a web browser can be a great analogue," he said.
The new browser is available for download now on macOS, and Altman promised Windows and mobile versions would be rolled out as quick as we can."
