Episode notes
OpenAI Enters The AI Browser Space
- OpenAI launched ChatGPT Atlas, a Chromium-based AI browser integrating chat, search, and agent features into a sidebar and omnibox.
- Atlas blends chat results with image, video, and news tabs to mimic traditional search while offering agentic automation.
Agents Act Inside Your Tabs
- Atlas includes an inline writing assistant called Cursor Chat that appears next to highlighted text for context-aware help.
- Paid users get agent mode that can act in tabs, with visible actions and a "take control" button to reclaim the tab.
Control Agent Access Per Query
- Use per-query controls to limit an agent's access to your logged-in accounts when issuing tasks.
- Employ incognito mode for sensitive queries so Atlas doesn't remember private requests.
