When OpenAI poached Kiwi Ben Goodger from Google (where he was a vice-president) and put him in charge of a secret project, many assumed it would be the ChatGPT maker’s stab at a web browser.
After all, the Aucklander – who relocated to Silicon Valley to work for Netscape in the 2000s – was one of the prime movers behind Google Chrome, the web browser that knocked Microsoft’s Explorer (now called Edge) of its perch.
They were right.
Today, OpenAI unveiled Atlas, “built with ChatGPT at its core”. You can use Atlas to browse the web, with the option of opening a sidebar to summarise content, ask a question or perform a task like researching an itinerary for a trip.
Could it dethrone Chrome, which holds around two-thirds of the web browser market? Not immediately.
Atlas was only made available for Macs this morning. OpenAI promises Windows and mobile versions “soon”.
