OpenAI has introduced Atlas, a new web browser that integrates an AI-driven Agent Mode capable of navigating tabs, accessing authentication data, and operating in the background. The feature can be toggled manually or suggested by ChatGPT based on user prompts. While Agent Mode is limited to actions within web tabs, users retain control over login states and can employ incognito windows for privacy. The launch places OpenAI against established players like Microsoft Edge’s Copilot and Google Chrome’s upcoming Gemini features, as well as startups such as Perplexity, which recently made a high‑profile bid for Chrome. Analysts note the move could grant OpenAI deeper access to user data and open new ad‑revenue pathways, but its success will hinge on convincing a portion of ChatGPT’s 700 million‑plus weekly active users to switch browsers.

Perplexity has announced that its AI‑powered Comet browser is now free for all users, ending the previous $200 a month subscription barrier. Built on Chromium, Comet embeds Perplexity’s conversational AI directly into the browsing experience, offering a side‑panel assistant that can summarize text, generate shopping lists, and interact with personal data such as email and calendar with permission. While core features are free, advanced tools remain behind Comet Plus and Max subscription tiers. The move aims to capture more browsing time and compete with AI integrations from Google, Microsoft, and emerging rivals. Leer más →
