ChatGPT launches AI browser Atlas
OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Atlas this week. The browser blends conversation and search in one place. You can talk to the web, follow up on answers, and explore context without switching tabs.
It feels more like working with an assistant than a search box.
What stands out
Conversational browsing: You can ask follow-up questions while exploring a page instead of switching between tabs.
Context awareness: Atlas can read what’s on your screen (text, visuals, or data) and adjust its replies to match.
All-in-one experience: Browsing and chat happen together now, so you don’t have to jump between tools.
What I’m watching
It’s interesting to see OpenAI finally join the wave started by Perplexity’s Comet and The Browser Company’s Dia (now acquired by Atlassian) earlier this year. Both tried to blend AI with how we browse, and now Atlas brings OpenAI’s scale into that same space. I’m curious to see how they’ll compete or even influence each other as the browser becomes more AI-driven.
The shift is clear: search is becoming conversational, and the browser is evolving into the new hub for how we learn, work, and explore online.
Enterprise potential: Atlas blurs the line between browsing, research, and interaction - opening new ways for teams to connect with users, showcase products, and surface insights inside one seamless flow.

🐦 How Perplexity uses AI
Perplexity just quietly dropped a 42-page internal guide on how they actually use AI at work.
What I found most useful:
→ How they automate the small stuff. Email, meeting prep, research (all done by AI)
→ Using AI to amplify your curiosity, not replace it.
→ Their prompting— #Aadit Sheth (#@aaditsh)
