OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Atlas, a new AI-driven web browser that embeds ChatGPT at its core, aiming to compete with Google Chrome by enabling context-aware assistance and deeper integration between browsing and AI functions.
OpenAI announced on October 21, 2025, that it had released ChatGPT Atlas, an artificial intelligence-powered web browser built around its flagship chatbot. The browser is currently available for macOS users and is intended to be expanded to Windows, iOS, and Android in the future.
Unlike traditional browsers, Atlas is designed without a standard address bar, placing ChatGPT at the center to offer users a “super-assistant” experience. “Today we’re introducing ChatGPT Atlas, a new web browser built with ChatGPT at its core,” OpenAI said in a blog post. The browser allows users to interact with ChatGPT directly while navigating websites, eliminating the need to switch tabs, copy, or paste content.
Atlas also includes a paid “agent mode” for subscribers (Plus, Pro, Business) that lets ChatGPT perform contextual searches, analyze information, and automate tasks based on browsing context. “As you use Atlas, ChatGPT can get smarter and more helpful, too. Browser memories let ChatGPT remember context … and bring that context back when you need it,” OpenAI explained. This release positions OpenAI more directly in competition with Google Chrome, which currently dominates the browser market.
