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.
OpenAI is planning to introduce a web browser that would be available as an alternative to Safari and Google Chrome, reports Reuters. The
Perplexity’s AI-powered Comet browser is part of a rising trend toward AI browsers, but whether it’s the future or just a pricey experiment remains to be seen.
Dia, a new AI-powered browser by the Browser Co. of New York, integrates chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude to enhance web browsing. It summarises videos, explains articles, and assists with writing, all within the page.
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.
