Introducing ChatGPT Atlas

Heat. Heat.

I'm scared.

Oh yeah.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

Good morning. Today we're going to

launch ChatGpt Atlas, our new web

browser. This is an AI powered web

browser built around ChatgPT. It's

something we've been super excited about

and working hard on for a long time and

really excited to share with you today.

We think that AI represents like a rare

once a decade opportunity to rethink

what a browser can be about and how to

use one and how to sort of most

productively and pleasantly use the web.

Tabs were great, but we haven't seen a

lot of browser innovation since then.

So, we got very excited about the

opportunity to really rethink what this

what this could be. And in the same way

that for the previous way people used

the internet, the uh URL bar of a

browser and the search box were a great

analog, the way that we hope people will

use the internet in the future and that

we're starting to see is that the chat

experience and a web browser can be a

great analog. So we got to work uh

designing a browser based around this

kind of experience. The browser is

already where a ton of work and sort of

life happens. And we think that by

having chatbt be sort of a core way to

help you use that that you can chat with

a page, you can use chatbt to find

stuff. Um you can use an agent mode with

chatt in a browser. Way more stuff that

we'll show you and you can try out

later. Um we can take this pretty far.

So we are excited to jump into a demo.

Um have some colleagues here. We'll

start with Ben for introductions and

then we'll show you what we've got.

>> Great. Thanks Sam. Um I'm Ben. I lead

engineering for Atlas. So Atlas started

with a question. What if you could chat

with your browser? And from that idea,

we reimagined the entire experience,

replacing years of clutter and

complexity with simple conversation.

We wanted to make sure that Atlas didn't

feel like your old browser uh just with

a chat button that was bolted on. Uh but

instead, we made chat GPT the beating

heart of Atlas. It's always by your side

and ready to help as you move across the

web. Uh, I find that when I use Atlas

myself, I'm more curious. I ask more

questions. I think it's made me just

like I said, a more curious, better

informed person. Um, we also made sure

that Atlas is fast and flexible enough

to support some amazing new experiences

that we'll show you shortly. Uh, it's a

new kind of browser for the next era of

the web and we can't wait to show you

what it can do. So, Adam, do you want to

take us through some of the features?

>> Yes, my name is Adam, product lead for

Atlas. And as Sam and Ben mentioned a

little bit about why we built Atlas. I'm

going to share a little bit about what

Atlas is. So first, Atlas should feel

very familiar. So it has all of your

tabs, bookmarks, autofill for password,

all the things you're used to. And then

there's three special core features of

Atlas that Ryan's going to walk you

through in a bit. The first is chat

comes with you anywhere as you go on the

web. So no longer do you have to copy

and paste between tabs when you're

working on writing an email or a

document. as you have that website up,

it'll just be right there for you if you

invoke it and it'll have context of what

you're working on so it can be more

helpful. That's chat anywhere across the

web. The second big feature is browser

memory and we talked a lot about this

when we were building it, but memory is

such a critical feature in chatbt that

people and users love today and that's

because as you use chatbt more, it just

gets more personalized and helps you

better and understands you much better.

Now, that's going to happen as you go on

your browser across the web in Atlas and

it just should be more personalized and

more helpful to you. And then the third,

which we're really excited about, and uh

Justin's going to show this later, is

agent, which is in Atlas Chatbt now can

take actions for you. It can do things.

So, it'll actually bring up little

cursor, start clicking around when you

ask it to, can help you book

reservations or flights or even just

edit a document that you're working on.

We're really excited to share this with

you. So Ryan, our lead designer in the

project, is going to show you a tour of

Atlas.

>> Thanks, Adam. All right, so I get to do

the demo of the core flows in Atlas.

What you should see here is your home

screen. This is what you'll be presented

with when you first download and open

the app or anytime you create a new tab.

We tried to create an experience here

that will feel totally familiar coming

from a traditional browser, but with all

the power of chat GPT baked in. To that

end, you'll see there's a composer in

the center of the screen where you could

ask chat a question like normal. You can

get to all of your tools,

your models,

and your sidebar with all of your chat

history.

So, but because it's a browser, you can

do more.

Type hacker news. Chat's going to take

me to the URL. I could say I could

reference a bookmark in human language.

and it's going to open my commits for

this galaxy diff.

You can use browser memory to search

your web history for something that you

know you've seen before, but you don't

know exactly where it is. So, let me say

search web history for a doc about Atlas

core design. No, I made this somewhere.

searching your browser memories.

There you go. Looks like it found the

doc I'm talking about. It's in my Google

Docs. If I tap it, you'll see it'll open

there. Let's jump back to the homepage

for one final feature. So, below the

composer on Atlas, you'll see

suggestions. These suggestions are kind

of the first version of personalization

in Atlas. Um, it will be generated for

you based on what Atlas understands

about what you've been up to or might be

trying to do next. They can be as simple

as a news story it thinks you might be

interested in or as advanced as an agent

task that's going to delegate through

for you in uh and kind of click through

your tabs. Um the more you use Atlas,

the better these suggestions get. And

again, it's very much a vzero of

personalization, but we're really

excited to see where the homepage of the

browser goes as we um delve deeper onto

this. Okay, so that's the home screen.

Now, I'm going to hop over to that

GitHub example and show you my personal

favorite feature. So, here I have some

code I was working on this morning. Um,

it's a shader for a little uh galaxy

generator. And in the top right, there's

this ask chatgpt button. You'll see this

on any website you visit. And when you

click it, it creates a companion

sidebar. It's basically you inviting

chat GPT into your corner of the

internet. You can do all of the things

you'd expect to be able to do with

chatgpt, but now it can see whatever

that specific web page is. might sound

simple, but it's actually been a major

unlock for how I use the browser. It's

kind of gone from this tool that's very

much about displaying information for

you to edit into this tool that

understands the information it's

displaying and in some cases can even

edit it for you. So, it has a suggestion

here to just summarize the contents of

this diff. Let's ask for that and see

what it says.

All right, it's a commit said even more

galaxy. It's updating a few of the

visuals and how this particle generator

works. This is cool. But what I really

want to know is, is this safe to

cherrypick into the R RC launching

today?

>> I thought we said no more changes today.

>> There's always time for one more. Uh,

okay. It thinks this is pretty low risk.

>> I don't know about that.

>> Yeah, I'm not sure I totally agree with

that one, but it is just a visual

change. Um, and that's side chat. You

can use this in a wide variety of cases,

comparing products, bringing it into

your own corner of the internet. I use

it a lot for pull requests or Slack when

I want to summarize a channel I've been

reading. Um, it's really useful and

we're excited for you all to try it.

>> I think also Ben mentioned how it makes

you more curious now that you have this

by your side. You just ask a lot more

questions which I really love about it.

>> Totally. It's a little bit of a paradigm

shift where you go from just having this

sort of one call, one response to you

can kind of keep workshopping until you

get what you're looking for, which is

very in keeping with chat.

>> Yeah. I often find I'm browsing I just

keep this thing open and I just like

flow questions into it as I go.

>> Totally. Speaking of keeping it open,

let's take a look at search, which has

uh some more of this side to show. So,

I'm going to search for this movie

I want to see. Um, and we've made some

major upgrades to search on chat GPT

when accessed via Atlas. So, we know

that um, search is kind of one of the

core flows in a browser for navigating

the internet. And a lot of these

searches can be very keyword- based or

short. Um, and LLM traditionally

struggle with that where they don't have

enough context to provide a great

answer. So, one of the first things

you'll notice is anytime you uh, search

within Atlas, you get these tabs across

the top. You can quickly pivot your

experience into something more like a

traditional search engine with images,

videos,

or news stories, all without losing that

core chat experience on the home tab.

So, here, scroll down. Some nice images,

a few uh updates on what this is. Let's

see if we can find a link. I'll take

this Roger Eert review.

It's given it four stars. One really

interesting thing here is that whenever

you click a link from a search result in

Atlas, by default, it's going to slide

chat over and open the web in a split

view. Now, if you don't want that, you

can always commandclick the link or just

click the ask chat GPT button and close

it. But it has this kind of nice

property of you have a companion with

you as you search the internet. So,

maybe I want to go to a different review

here. I'll try this Yahoo one.

>> Haven't you already seen this movie?

What's What's your review?

>> I've seen it twice, actually. Uh, I

recommend it. Um, really, really good

actually. Um, let's just ask for a quick

summary of this review. Can you

summarize this review in five words or

less?

Maybe we can get to the meat of it.

>> This is where I think this this new

model of search is actually really

powerful because it makes it it's like a

multi-turn experience. Like you can just

have this back and forth with your

search results rather than just being

sent off to a web page. You can use this

to really understand.

>> Totally. Yeah,

>> that's a great review, huh?

>> PTA's best.

>> I have to check it out.

>> That's a high bar. Uh, definitely go. It

It honestly is great. Um, okay. Uh, for

the last demo I'm going to show you in

these core flows, I'm going to hop over

to my Gmail drafts. So, we know a really

popular flow in chat GPT is to draft

some writing in a note or a doc or an

email. Copy that writing, bring it to

ChatGpt, workshop it a bit there, maybe

change the tone or tenor, um, language,

spell check, grammar, whatever it may

be. you get to something you're happy

with, copy the output of that, bring it

back to wherever you're working, paste

it there. With Atlas, we wanted to try

to flatten that flow to something that

feels uh like you can just do it in line

on any form field or text box on the

internet. So, here I have an email was

writing to one of the other designers on

the team about this beautiful shader he

worked on for agent. I can just select

the text and hit the chat GPT nub. Maybe

I'll just say tidy my language. Doesn't

look like it was my best to begin with

back there.

Now I know why your emails are so

polished of late.

>> Yes. Well, uh um All right. There you

go. So, you get your update. I could ask

for another edit if I wanted. It lets

you do all of this in line. Then when I

hit update, it's going to take whatever

your text selection was, replace it just

in that. It allows you perform really

scoped edits in a super useful way. We

call it cursor chat. Really excited to

see what people do with it. Let's hit

send. Fire that off to Omar.

>> Awesome.

>> There we are. Those are the core flows

for chat GPT Atlas. That's awesome.

Great work you guys. Thanks very much.

So that's a little bit about what makes

uh chatbt in your browser just an easier

part of your daily work. One thing that

you can see a little bit of there but

really comes through when you use it is

this is just a great browser all around.

It's smooth. It's smooth. It's quick.

It's very nice to use. But now we want

to show you a more advanced feature um

which is agent mode in chat GPT. Uh and

so Pranov, Justin, and Will are here to

show you that. Hey everybody, my name is

Will Ellsworth and I'm the research lead

for the agent in Atlas.

>> My name is Justin. I'm an engineer on

the Atlas team.

>> And I'm Pranov, one of the product leads

on Atlas.

>> And we get to show you how Atlas is able

to browse the web and do things for you

in agent mode.

>> There's honestly so many different ways

you can use this, right? Uh maybe you

want to hand off a task that you're just

not interested in doing or you want it

to teach you how to do something in

software you've never seen before. This

is a preview, but honestly, we've just

been blown away by how powerful this

agent can be with full access to your

browser and your personal internet.

>> Uh, that makes safety really important,

right? Absolutely. And so, we've built

safety into every part of our stack from

the model all the way to the product

experience, which Pranov will tell us a

bit more about,

>> but why don't we see it in action?

>> Let's rock and roll.

>> All right. So, we have been planning a

haunted house.

>> Really excited for this.

>> Yeah, I'm I'm pumped. And uh for

whatever reason, I got roped into being

the project manager for this. And uh we

have a Google doc that we've been using

to kind of informally plan out our

tasks. And so you can see um you know

some people have filled in their current

week's tasks. And uh unfortunately there

are a couple of issues here. So the

first problem is as you can see by the

to-dos uh some people have not

uh filled in their current week's task.

Uh and so I would love to leave a

comment politely reminding them to do

so. And then second is while Google Docs

is this amazing tool, uh we also have

some more formal task management

software called linear and I would love

to take all the current week tasks that

have been filled out and convert them

into linear tasks or uh in the linear

verbiage issues. So the tough part here

is I have very little project management

experience. Don't really know how to use

linear.

>> I don't know why we put you in charge of

this.

>> Yeah. uh beats me. But um I therefore

would love to just delegate this uh to

agent mode in Atlas and have it take

care of this for me. And so what I can

do is I can click uh this agent mode

here. And you can just find this with

the plus button selecting agent mode.

And I'm going to kick this off. And this

agent mode tells chatbt that I want it

to actually take actions on my behalf

inside of Atlas. And so you see it has

its own cursor. It's going to be

clicking around as if it were me. has

has access to all of my local

authentication, all of my history. Um,

it should really feel like a natural

extension of myself. And I'm gonna hand

off over to Justin.

>> Yeah. Yeah. The team paid a lot of

attention to the product experience

here, right? We really wanted to make it

feel like it was coming alive. You could

see exactly what the agent was doing so

you could start to build trust that it

was, you know, doing what you wanted it

to.

>> But yeah, just just to emphasize this

point, this is Chbt in agent mode using

your web browser for you locally. It's

got all your stuff. It's clicking around

for you. You can watch it or you can't.

You don't have to, but this is like

really it's using the internet for you.

>> Exactly. Exactly.

>> Yeah. It's like right in your tab. And

that's one of the cool things about the

experience of using agent

>> in Atlas.

>> So, it looks like it is kicking off. So,

one thing that's really nice is that I

don't need to sit and watch it, right? I

can let it just do its thing in the

background

>> um and use my browser for other things.

>> So, here we have a recipe. We're uh

we're planning a potluck, right?

>> Yeah. Really excited about this recipe.

>> Yeah. Yeah. And so I'd like to show you

how we can use agent for things in in in

your personal life. So one thing that I

always struggle with with recipes is

figuring out what ingredients I need to

buy, right? Uh it's somewhere in the

recipe page. It's some serving size. I

need to figure it all out. So I I like

to use Atlas to ask Chat GPT, uh what

ingredients

do I need to buy to cook do I need to

cook this for eight people?

and Chachet PT is gonna go ahead and

read the web page, figure out the

ingredients, kind of do some math for

me, and tell me exactly what I need.

>> So useful.

>> Yeah. In the past, I've told it that I

like my uh I like my shopping list

organized by grocery aisle to make it a

little easier to shop for.

And looking at this, you know, I have

most of this honestly. I just need the

meat and the produce. So I'm going to

say, uh, can you order the meat and

produce for me? and we'll shut off how

you can start agent mode by clicking a

button, right? Which is really useful if

you know to reach for it. But in those

moments that you don't, chatbt can

figure out that the way to accomplish

this is to take over your browser,

right? Uh you're always in control. You

always have the option to approve or

reject it. So I'm just going to click

continue uh to hand hand the task off to

agent.

>> Yeah. And I I love how collaborative

agent is in Atlas. So you can just hand

off your tabs, you can go back and

forth. And we've really improved agent a

bunch to make sure that it's a lot

better and faster at these collaborative

tasks. And as you can notice, like at

any moment in time, you could take

control. And so one thing that's really

great about this is like agent already

knows that Justin likes to shop at

Safeway on Instacart. And so it knows

exactly where to go when all he said

was, "Can you order this for me?" And so

it's found its way over to Instacart.

and it's starting to search. You can see

how it like types way faster than I do.

>> Um, and

>> I pride myself in my typing speed and

this is just blown me out of the water.

>> Exactly. And it started adding items to

the cart already. And so, uh, I want to

take this moment actually to to talk

about, um, you know, despite all of the

power and awesome capabilities that you

get with sharing your browser with

ChatGpt, that also poses an entirely new

set of risks. And so it's really

important to us in addition to a bunch

of built-in safeguards like chatbt agent

is only ever operating on your tabs. It

can't execute code on your computer or

access other files. It's just in your

tabs that you're also in control of

exactly what you're handing over access

to. And so if I open a new tab just to

show this off, you always get to decide

whether chatbt agent is logged in or

logged out. And so we really recommend

thinking carefully about for any given

task, does chat GPT agent need access to

your logged in sites and data or can it

actually work just fine while being

logged out with minimal access? And that

same principle of control carries

through to our entire browser

experience. Ryan showed off these

awesome uh browser memories that power

these suggestions earlier. It's it's

also worth noting that those are

completely optional. You can decide

whether you turn them on in onboarding

or not. You can always see the memories

themselves and manage them in settings.

And for anytime you don't want um uh you

don't want this to be remembered by chat

GPT, uh you always can make a new

incognito window. And so you'll be able

to do this to ask questions like what to

do when

your palms are sweaty on a live stream.

>> Asking for a friend, right? Yeah, of

course. And I'm realizing I don't think

I want everyone to see the answer to

that. So, why don't we go back and

check?

>> I don't know if I need you using my

computer either. Okay, great. Should we

go back and check how the how the task

went?

>> Let's do it.

>> So, here's our Instacart order. Awesome.

You can see that in just about two

minutes, the agent was able to go

through, fill out the cart, and it's

just so useful having um the cart filled

out and delivered to you like this,

right? It doesn't need to go all the way

to making the purchase order. In fact,

it's better for me if I can review what

it did and decide to buy or add more

things to my cart or whatever else I

need to do.

>> Yeah, 100%.

>> Cool. And then let's take a quick look

at the linear task.

>> Um, and so yeah, looks like it

successfully added these tasks to

linear. And it's a little hard to see on

the screen, but it's also tagged the

right people for each task.

>> One cool feature is it shows you

relevant tabs at the bottom, so you can

see what tabs it's worked on. So, I can

go back and check the Google doc and

see. Great. It looks like it's tagged

all the people uh who had the to-dos and

given them a plight reminder to fill

this out.

>> It's going to save me so much time.

>> Yeah. Um and and save my job because I

was not uh familiar with this whole

project management thing. So, uh we've

seen a couple of awesome examples of how

chat GBT can actually control the Atlas

browser and perform useful actions on

your behalf. And so in the same way that

GBT5 and Codeex are these great tools

for vibe coding, we believe that we can

start in the long run to have an amazing

tool for vibe lifing. So delegating all

kinds of tasks uh both in your personal

and professional life to the agent in

Atlas. You know, one of the great joys

of working at OpenAI is when we release

technology, people outside the company

always come up with way more creative

ideas for how to use it than we can. uh

maybe we're just not uh super creative

folks, but I'm really excited to see all

the unexpected and cool ways that you

can use the agent in Atlas and we're

really excited to ship this. So, with

that, back to Sam.

>> We are indeed really excited to ship

this. We we hope you'll love it. So,

this is going live today for Mac OS

worldwide uh for all of our users,

although agent mode is only available to

plus and pro users for now. We want to

bring this to Windows and to mobile

devices as quickly as we can. We think

people will hopefully will you'll love

this as m much as we do. There's a lot

more to add. This is still early days

for for this project. We we think we the

kind of idea that we're excited about is

what it means to have custom

instructions follow you everywhere on

the web. And as you have this agent that

you're having do things for you, getting

to know you more and more, pulling stuff

together for you proactively, finding

things that you might want on the

internet and bringing them together,

which we we showed a little bit of. We

think we can push that quite far. So, we

hope you'll check this out. We hope you

will uh enjoy it. and we please send us

feedback. Thank you very much.
