GoKawiilOpenAI will pull the plug on ChatGPT Atlas on August 9, less than a year after launch. Curious Mac users can still download it for one last look, but for an AI browser with an actual future, try Perplexity's Comet or Opera, both offer tools for summarizing pages, answering questions, and helping you navigate the web.
ChatGPT Atlas is a web browser with ChatGPT built in. Atlas brings ChatGPT to every site you visit, offering in-line help as you work, remembering important context (if you choose), and even completing multi-step tasks for you using agent mode. Built for privacy and control, Atlas lets you decide what ChatGPT can see and remember as you browse. It's a smarter, more personal way to use the web.
What is "Agent Mode" in Atlas and who can use it?
Agent Mode lets ChatGPT take action for you in the browser – for example researching, automating tasks or shopping on your behalf – always under your control. It is currently in preview for Plus, Pro and Business users.
What browser engine does ChatGPT Atlas run on?
Atlas is built on top of the Chromium stack, meaning it uses Google's Blink rendering engine and the V8 JavaScript runtime under the hood. In practice, that puts it in the same technical family as Chrome, Edge and Arc. So you get full modern web compatibility, but with the browser itself acting as an AI-first interface instead of a traditional tab-and-toolbar shell.
How do I get started with Atlas and carry over my data from another browser?
Once you download Atlas for macOS, sign in using your ChatGPT account, and you can import bookmarks, passwords and browsing history from your current browser. After that, you can choose whether to enable browser-memories and set Atlas as your default browser.
What platforms is Atlas available on?
Atlas is currently available on macOS for Free, Plus, Pro and Go users, and in beta for Business accounts. Versions for Windows, iOS and Android are coming soon.
