ChatGPT Atlas
by OpenAI
An AI-native web browser that embeds ChatGPT directly into the browsing experience.

Features
- Native ChatGPT sidebar for contextual, page-aware Q&A and summarization.
- Agent Mode: multi-step autonomous agents that can research, navigate sites, extract data, and complete bounded tasks under user supervision.
- Browser Memories: optional, user-editable memories that allow Atlas to remember preferences, project context, and past browsing insights.
- Inline writing and editing assistance (email composition, form filling, tone/style adjustments) directly on web pages.
- Task automation: compare products, build shopping lists, gather publication dates, and assemble comparison tables across sites.
- GitHub and developer-oriented integrations: analyze profiles, contributions, and code-related content within the browser.
- Privacy controls: opt-out of model training by default, granular memory visibility, history clearing, incognito sessions, and admin/parental controls.
- Chromium foundation with import tools for bookmarks, passwords, and history from other browsers.
Superpowers
ChatGPT Atlas is aimed at knowledge workers, students, researchers, writers, and power users who want to reduce friction between “finding information” and “doing things with it.” Instead of copying content between tabs or toggling apps, you can ask Atlas about the page you’re on, ask it to extract structured data across multiple pages, or have an agent perform repetitive, bounded web tasks (e.g., product comparisons, gathering references, booking research notes).
Pricing (summary)
OpenAI released Atlas with tiered access:
- Free: access to core sidebar functionality and basic page summarization.
- Plus / Pro / Business: access to Agent Mode in preview and advanced features (faster agents, additional memory capabilities, team/enterprise controls).
- Enterprise / Business: Admin controls, parental/enterprise policy settings, and additional privacy and management features.
Privacy & governance
- Users are opted out of data training by default; training opt-in is a user choice.
- Browser memories are private to accounts and can be viewed, edited, or deleted.
- Admins and parents can disable memories and agent mode for managed accounts.
- Atlas restricts risky actions: agents cannot run arbitrary code, access local files, or download content without explicit user consent.
Limitations & cautions
- Agent Mode is experimental and requires supervision; it may perform unexpected steps if not guided.
- Atlas changes the browsing paradigm; it is not always a direct replacement for search engines for simple lookup queries.
- Platform availability was initially macOS-only at launch (Oct 21, 2025); Windows, iOS, and Android releases are planned but may lag.
- As with any AI-assisted tool, verify facts and sources—Atlas can summarize and extract but can also hallucinate.
