OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Atlas Browser for macOS
ChatGPT Atlas integrates ChatGPT into the browsing experience with unified search and assistant features. A new tab lets users ask questions or enter URLs and returns tabbed results for links, images, videos, and news.
A ChatGPT sidebar can summarize pages, compare products, and analyze on-page data. Users can highlight text in emails or documents and rewrite selections inline. Atlas supports Free, Plus, Pro, and Go plans on macOS.
