OpenAI announced the launch of its first web browser, "ChatGPT Atlas," on October 21, 2025. According to Reuters, this move is a direct and the most serious assault on Googles long-standing dominance in the search and web browser market. Atlas is deeply integrated with ChatGPT and is positioned as a "conversational browser." Instead of a traditional search bar, it offers users interaction with an AI agent that can understand complex natural language queries, independently find and summarize information from various websites, fill out forms, and perform actions online. This launch signals OpenAIs intention to fundamentally change the paradigm of human-computer interaction with the internet, shifting the focus from simple "searching" to "task completion" using AI.
