OpenAI to launch AI-powered web browser
Digest more
The browser is slated to launch in the coming weeks and aims to use artificial intelligence to fundamentally change how consumers browse the web.
A test of the app Dia illustrates that the humble web browser may be the path to making artificial intelligence more natural to use.
OpenAI is planning to launch an AI web browser in the “coming weeks,” according to a report from Reuters. Sources tell the outlet that OpenAI could build its Operator AI agent into the browser, allowing it to book reservations, fill out forms, and complete other tasks on a user’s behalf as it moves toward an “agentic” future.
If OpenAI does start offering users access to its own browser, it would be following Perplexity, which released a browser with agentic AI functions on Wednesday. That browser, Comet, is currently only available to those with a $200 per month Perplexity Max subscription. Opera also released a "fully agentic" browser back in May.
Perplexity has officially made the move to web browsers, embedding its AI tools into Comet, its new Chromium browser.
