From search integration to a complete AI-native browser, tracing the evolution of how OpenAI has reimagined web interaction through ChatGPT Atlas.
OpenAI releases ChatGPT, demonstrating the potential of conversational AI. The web is accessed through training data, not live browsing.
ChatGPT gains the ability to browse the web through plugins, offering limited real-time information access within the chat interface.
Search becomes one of ChatGPT's most-used features, letting users find timely information from across the internet directly in conversation.
ChatGPT for macOS gains the ability to work with other applications, including IDEs, terminals, and Notes, expanding context beyond the chat window.
Agent capabilities arrive, allowing ChatGPT to take actions on behalf of users, automating research, tasks, and multi-step workflows.
A complete web browser built around ChatGPT. Browser memories, context awareness, native agent mode, and deep macOS integration converge into a unified experience.
ChatGPT Atlas expands beyond macOS, bringing the AI-native browsing experience to additional platforms.
ChatGPT Atlas for macOS represents not just a new browser, but a new category. The convergence of conversational AI, persistent memory, and autonomous action within the browser window suggests that the way we interact with the web is fundamentally changing.
