Chromium Base Enables Extension Compatibility
- OpenAI's Atlas browser is built on Chromium but adds AI-first features like a ChatGPT new-tab and sidebar.
- That foundation preserves Chrome extensions while enabling deeper AI integration across web pages.
Use Agent Mode And Give Explicit UI Steps
- Use Atlas's agent mode and Ask ChatGPT sidebar to interact directly with the page you're on.
- Toggle the sidebar and give explicit UI instructions for more reliable automation.
Automated Podcast Editing And Scheduling
- Jaeden used Atlas to build an SOP that edited and scheduled three podcast episodes end-to-end on Riverside and Spotify.
- The agent removed pauses and filler words, enhanced audio, exported, and scheduled the episodes.
