OpenAI’s AI Browser
OpenAI is planning to release an AI-powered web browser of its own to challenge Google Chrome, according to a report from Reuters. The ChatGPT maker reportedly aims to release its browser in the coming weeks.
Much like Perplexity’s Comet and The Browser Company’s Dia, OpenAI’s browser is said to use AI to rethink how users browse the web. Supposedly, the browser keeps some user interactions inside ChatGPT instead of linking out to websites.
Reuters reports that OpenAI’s browser may integrate Operator, the company’s web-browsing AI agent, as a key feature. OpenAI had considered building a browser to compete with Google Chrome in 2024, according to The Information.
Much like Perplexity, OpenAI likely wants to get direct access to user data and have the freedom to create novel user experiences that aren’t intermediated by Google.
