What is ChatGPT Atlas
ChatGPT Atlas is an AI-native browser from OpenAI that embeds ChatGPT conversations, summaries, and intelligent agents directly into web pages. Users can ask questions, generate summaries, automate forms, and perform multi-step tasks from any page, reducing the time it takes to switch back and forth between the browser and chat app.
