ChatGPT Update: ChatGPT Atlas is here to take on Google, with its Agent Mode features surprising you...

OpenAI has launched a new AI-based web browser called ChatGPT Atlas. This browser is designed to compete with Google. The company introduced it in a livestream, touting it as the future of the internet. The browser is now available on macOS and will soon be available on Windows, iOS, and Android. The race for AI-based browsers is heating up. In July 2024, OpenAI launched a search engine prototype called SearchGPT. Perplexity also launched its Comet browser. Zoho also launched Ulaa to compete with Google Chrome.

What is Atlas' Agent Mode?
The Verge reports that ChatGPT Atlas also has a special mode called 'Agent Mode.' Currently, it's only available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users. In Agent Mode, it can perform various tasks for you, such as booking restaurants, booking flight tickets, or editing documents. Users can view and manage their storage in Settings. In addition, an incognito mode is available, allowing you to browse without tracking, just like in Google Chrome.

How Atlas Works
Clicking on a search result in Atlas splits the screen in two. One side displays the webpage, and the other displays the ChatGPT conversation. This is called the Companion feature, which remains with you at all times. You can turn off this split-screen if you wish. The browser also offers a webpage summary and enhanced text in emails, called "Cursor Chat."

Will Help Online Shopping
OpenAI has previously worked on agentic AI. Operator tools and ChatGPT agents can perform tasks on the computer on behalf of the user. Atlas further improves these efforts. It simplifies complex tasks and helps with online shopping. Although previous tools had some shortcomings, the company has improved them with Atlas.

Competition with Perplexity
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says this browser could change the way we use the internet in the future. As the battle for AI browsers heats up, it will be exciting to see how Atlas stacks up against rivals like Google and Perplexity.
