OpenAI, the parent company behind ChatGPT is planning to launch its web browser. According to the sources OpenAi is currently working on a web browser, the company claimed that the OpenAI browser will be more attractive and professional by design than Google’s Chrome. OpenAI is the underlying Chromium open-source codebase.
OpenAI browser will also present AI agent integrations within the operators of OpenAI, allowing the browser to perform actions and processes for you.
It’s reportedly perfect for AI agents to do things for you older said they would book things for you, fill out forms, that sort of thing for that reason, it would be built into the browser and have access to your browsing history.
According to the report, it’s purportedly “designed to keep some of the user interactions in a native chat interface similar to ChatGPT instead of clicking” through to websites, so perhaps you’ll have to ask a chatbot for whatever website you want to visit? We’re not sure.
Unfortunately, the sources also say this is “part of OpenAI’s broader process to capture data on users’ web conduct”, but in this day and age, most people probably won’t have an issue with how that sounds. One source said OpenAI decided to build its browser rather than an extension for existing ones “in order to have more control over the data it can collect”.
The OpenAI browser is launching “in the coming weeks”, and (of course) “aims to use artificial intelligence to fundamentally change how consumers browse the web”. And it seems like it will do that by having you ask a chatbot for a website instead of typing it in an address bar truly revolutionary stuff.
