OpenAI launches browser with a brain powered by agentic AI

OpenAI has unveiled Atlas, a new AI-powered browser built around ChatGPT, currently available only for paying users on macOS. A standout feature is the "agent mode," which allows the browser to act as a personal assistant, researching, analyzing information, and automating complex tasks like planning events or online shopping while the user continues browsing. For instance, an agent can find a recipe, locate ingredients at stores, add them to a cart, and arrange delivery. OpenAI has incorporated several safety features, such as preventing code execution, file downloads, or extension installations, and pausing before sensitive actions on sites like financial institutions. This launch offers a glimpse into the future of agentic AI, where intelligent agents perform tasks on behalf of users across the internet.
