ZDNET's key takeaways

OpenAI's Atlas browser is here for Mac users, with Agent mode.

Agent navigates sites, fills carts, and performs real-world task.

My quick shopping test shows a lot of potential - and small hurdles.

OpenAI has released its new AI browser, Atlas, but it's only available to Mac users for now.

I watched the company's demo this afternoon and immediately had to try it, being a Mac user myself. The new browser combines what seems like the best of ChatGPT with a full-featured web interface.
