Recently, one could say there are more and more AI browserFollowing the debuts of Dia and Perplexity Comet, foreign media have also reported that OpenAI is planning to launch built-in… ChatGPT Its AI browser is set to debut soon, and more importantly, this browser also integrates AI agent capabilities. As powerful AI browsers continue to roll out, Google… Chrome Its position could be said to be increasingly precarious.
Reuters: ChatGPT browser built by OpenAI will launch within a few weeks.
According to the latest report from Reuters, OpenAI is preparing to launch an AI-powered web browser, aiming to completely transform how consumers browse the internet by leveraging the advantages of AI.
This AI browser will have a built-in ChatGPT chat interface familiar to everyone, meaning users can chat directly with ChatGPT on any webpage, ask questions, get more answers, and even search—all without leaving the current page, getting all the information they need and reducing the need to click links.
In addition, it is also expected to integrate various AI tools from OpenAI, such as:OperatorOperator is an AI agent tool that lets users use natural language to ask the AI to complete tasks automatically, such as ordering food, filling out forms, and booking itineraries. Although the report didn’t mention image generation, since it will integrate various AI tools, it’s reasonable to expect that too.
OpenAI hopes this AI browser can become deeply integrated into users’ daily lives and work scenarios, turning AI into a true everyday assistant.
As for the underlying technology, it is reportedly also based on Google’s open-source browser core “Chromium”, which means users of browsers like Chrome and Edge can switch over almost seamlessly.
There’s no exact release date yet, but it doesn’t seem like it’ll be too long—OpenAI could make an announcement within a few weeks.
As OpenAI enters the AI browser space, Reuters also reported that OpenAI doesn’t just want to build a tool; instead, it hopes to use its own browser to capture more user data, just as Google did successfully in its early days. This would not only help strengthen AI capabilities but could also change the rules of the game in the search and advertising markets.
For those who haven’t used an AI browser, it may be unclear where the appeal lies. Take Dia for example: Dia can also open an AI chat in the sidebar of any webpage, and the AI can read the current page, meaning you can directly ask the AI about the page content, translate the whole page, summarize, rewrite, or even search for other answers:
If using a regular browser, you’d need to open ChatGPT or another AI tool separately, then feed the content over, and going back and forth is very cumbersome.
This is just one of the advantages of AI browsers.
That said, following past tradition, almost all new tools OpenAI releases are Mac-first. So even if the ChatGPT browser does debut in a few weeks, Windows users may still have to wait a while before they can use it.
