ChatGpt Atlas is an extended hand of ChatGPT, an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI. ChatGPT took word by storm and showed us only a part of what an amazing application of AI can do for our everyday lives. The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, hopes that with Atlas, the end users are going to receive what web search was always about, chat experience in a browser. With this release, the goal of OpenAI and ChatGPT is more than clear, and it is to tackle Google. Is that even possible? Well, we can't answer that, but let us tell you what ChatGPT Atlas is, and you decide for yourself.

The tool in question was in the works for some time now, and its official release waited until last Tuesday. At the start the goal is going to be to get introduced to a broader audience that has lived with Google all these years as the market leader. At first the new browser is going to be available only on macOS. Of course, the wait for it to get to Windows, iOS, and Android will not take too long.

What ChatGPT Atlas Brings to the Table?

Atlas is not your average browser, but an AI powered one. What is touted as its main trait, and the biggest advantage over the existing options is its memory. According to OpenAI, ChatGPT Atlas will be able to memorize all of your searches. Due to this trait the browsing will be more personalized, and you will receive feedback and not just search results. The memories created by the browser will be at disposal to the user, in a form of search history but with more information attached to it that could be useful in finding what you were looking for.

Unlike some other available browsers, Atlas was not added to an existing one. Instead, it was fully created around ChatGPT. This is what makes it special. ChatGPT will be there with you on every page you visit. It will be like another pair of eyes looking at what you look and searching for what you search. This way it will remove the need to copy and paste between tabs with the chatbot available on every page with full memory of where you've been before and where you want to head.

When you add the option of doing tasks automatically through the option called Agent Mode, and the fact that this superb tech is available for free, you just got a new friend for browsing. If you're into online gambling, no other browser can come close to Atlas in terms of speed with which it can consume data and help you make picks and predictions based on the teams you follow, your web searches, and data it can harness all over the web. The situation is similar if you want to book a trip, as it will remember all the pages, hotels, and flights you went through and it will be of great help in finding best prices, top locations, and cheap flights for you.

Why We Got Atlas?

It is due to the evolution of the Internet. By now most of us hang on the browser in one window, with an AI assistant opened in another. With Atlas the old way of browsing will disappear and if it's successful in its plans others will have to adapt. At the end of the day all of us want to stop copy/pasting and switching tabs. It is all about streamlined browsing. Atlas is, as we said, built around ChatGPT and doesn't have it as its assistant but as its core.

Back in the day, and we're talking recent browsing days, after ChatGPT was brought to life, you'd go to a website, find the wanted info, copy it, get back to your favorite chatbot, paste it, and ask your question. When you got the right answer, you'd go back to browsing, and the circle would go one. Atlas eliminates this by giving you access to ChatGPT on every page where you are, with questions and answers being directly tied to your current search.

Key Features That Change Everything

The fact is that many people will stay away from the new browser by seeing it as too complicated, or by simply being too used to what they have right now. OpenAI has decided to make the adaptation to this novelty as easy as possible, and they're doing it by adding an Ask ChatGPT button to every page you're on. When you click on the button an sidebar will appear.

With ChatGPT being your right hand, you will now be able to do everything you like while not changing tabs. The actions available include asking the chatbot to summarize an article, ask about the content in front of you, compare products and services across the tabs (read that again,across the tabs), get help with writing, emails, and overall online communication, have more in depth partner in deep research, and get access and extract specific information. For all of us stat nerds, having this kind of help when visiting our favorite crypto casino, and getting the slips ready, can make a difference between winning and losing. And we're talking a great advantage in getting the help you always needed for that last leg of the parlay with an automated AI helper of your own.

Browser Memories as an Option

This is an option that ChatGPT Atlas is going to have, and that was raised by Sam Altman. This browser can remember your every search. It is not about being tracked, it is about having all the help you can get while browsing. By using this option you will help ChatGPT get smarter, and the smarter it gets the more it can help you and everyone around. This is the moment when leaving Terminator, I, Robot and other AI/Robot conspiracy theories aside, and get the help you need, and give help in return.

The facts that Atlas remembers if you pick this option are all the pages you've been to, products observed, topics you've searched for, all words you've read, and best of all, the browsing patterns you showcase. Of course, you do not have to do this. It is possible to turn off this option, but that would mean the service you get is not at 100% and you're not using it as intended.

Also, you can turn it on/off when you feel like it, but with the option turned on, you can always go back to your memories, but also delete particular ones you find no use of. Just like with any other browser you can delete your search history and memories attached to it. Lastly, there is also an incognito mode to use, and resolve any doubts you have about preserving your browser memories for time being.

The Much Needed Touch of an Personalized Homepage

This is where Atlas stands out from the get go. When you open a new tab it's not just a plain page with no personality. Instead, it is a page with ChatGPT gearing up to go. You will immediately see suggested prompts based on your history, list of quick actions and common tasks, recently browsed pages, and many topics created based on your previously searched interest. At first most of these suggestions will be all over the place, but the more you use Atlas the more will they get more precise and helpful.

New, Innovative, and Yet a Standard Browser

OpenAI was all about innovation from the start. With Atlas they're taking another step in that direction. Yet, the company knew that at the end of the day it was still launching another browser. It knew that in order for people to accept it and start using it more and more with time than standard options of Google, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Opera. That's why it is not missing any of the options that consist of your regular browser. Atlas comes with tabs, bookmarks, history, passwords, incognito mode, and option to have all of the above imported from another browser.

Multiple Search Result Types

ChatGPT Atlas knows the browsing game. While it is powered by ChatGPT it is still a browser. So, when you type a search, you will not receive a straight ChatGPT answer. Instead, you will get its answer but also everything you have with any other browser out there. So, in addition to chatbot responses you will also have search links as you're used to receiving on Google, images, videos, and of course news. At the top of the browser you will have tabs that will let you pick from either the option. Having an option to use ChatGPT and search links simultaneously sounds great, doesn't it?

ChatGPT Atlas Targeted Audience

Atlas is a new browser, and it of course wants to get as big a share of the market as possible. Chrome holds 66% at the moment, and that's what it's going for. Yet, it needs a place to start climbing to reach the top. The perfect demographics for Atlas are students. They've been already using the OpenAI chatbot, and with Atlas they can do plenty more. Just some of the options are taking notes while reading, asking questions and materials used at courses, doing faster and more thorough research than with any other browser, and getting instant heel in chewing out more perplexing subjects.

The second demographic are the folks who are going to be using it professionally. Those of us who need a good browser are people who want to edit documents without switching apps, employees in fields that need more precise and after web search, professionals working with repetitive Internet tasks, and people who are in charge of organizing multiple projects simultaneously. Of course, in the era of social media platforms, folks who call themselves content creators should be at the top of the list. It will be an ideal helper in creating content, as it can research any topic and recognize a new trend, compare information, results, and audience response to content, help in writing descriptions, and pieces of the content, and save time spent on administrative tasks, and allowing creators more time to create content in the first place.

Lastly, Atlas is surely for you if you've been a regular OpenAI and ChatGPT user. In addition to this, if you're not a friend of switching between tabs move to the new thing, Atlas. Smarter browsing is within reach of your hand and with a few clicks you can try this new tech, as you should. Just check it out, and you will see in a few searches that it is for you. While we are always pro new tech, it just might not be what you want or need. If you haven't been using this AI chatbot, and are satisfied with the browser you use currently don't make a switch. Changing habits doesn't always lead to better results.
