"Earlier this month, OpenAI announced ChatGPT Atlas, "a new web browser built with ChatGPT at its core," which it is promoting to the service's hundreds of millions of users. Unusual for OpenAI, which has a history of rushing to beat competitors to market, Atlas launched into a crowded marketplace for AI-assisted browsers. Heavyweights Google and Microsoft are already integrating chatbots and other LLM features into Chrome and Edge."
"Each of these browsers has a different take on what it means to integrate - or build a browser around - generative AI, but a few common features have emerged. You've got easily accessible summarization, editing, and lookup capabilities, of course, as well as different abilities to (borrowing Dia's words) "chat with your tabs." In interface terms, they mostly seem to have settled on a right-hand sidebar for chatting, which may end up being this era's version of the "omnibox,""
OpenAI launched ChatGPT Atlas, a browser centered on ChatGPT, into an already crowded market of AI-assisted browsers. Google and Microsoft are integrating chatbots and LLM features into Chrome and Edge. Opera, Perplexity (with Comet), the Browser Company (moving toward Dia), and Firefox all offer AI capabilities, while Safari remains comparatively limited. Common capabilities include summarization, editing, lookup, and the ability to "chat with your tabs." Interfaces favor a right-hand chat sidebar that could become a core navigation element. Most new AI browsers are built on Chromium, aligning their architecture and compatibility.
