ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has unveiled an artificial intelligence-powered web browser to challenge competitors like Google, which operates Chrome, the most popular browser in the world.
ChatGPT Atlas does away with the address bar that is a key feature in search, with boss Sam Altman saying it was "built around ChatGPT" as the company made the new browser available on Tuesday on Apple's MacOS operating system.
The arrival of Atlas comes as OpenAI seeks new ways to monetize its massive bet on artificial intelligence (AI) and capitalize on its growing user base.
OpenAI said Atlas would also offer a paid agent mode that conducts searches on its own for users of its popular chatbot.
The agent mode feature will be available only to paying ChatGPT subscribers. It uses the chatbot to make "improvements that make it faster and more useful by working with your browsing context".
