Gemini is already in Chrome. Atlas seems neat but it is not a unique product.

How does this page not immediately address what I assume is everyone's first question? Is this browser built on Chromium, or is it a completely fresh creation? I have to assume that because they AREN'T highlighting it that it IS built on Chromium.

No normal human being is asking this as a first question.

They already have Gemini for chrome which no one uses.

Does anything in here seem like a defensible moat? Feels like Google will just ask their teams to mimic any of the good UX flows and they'll have something out in a couple of weeks.

Anyone feel like OpenAI is acting like Google lately? They announce a lot of products/features and then kill them when they realize people don't use them[0]. They also announce products way before they're ready for launch, just like google[1]. - GPT Plugins? (HN went crazy over this, they called it the "app store moment"...) - GPTs?! - Schedules? - Operator? - The original "codex" model? [0]: I know, the diff is that…

I think its funny how its a Chromium-based browser, and the live demo involved automating Gmail and Google Sheets. Google literally runs the world; we're just playing on their playground.

Just to be meta, I downloaded the browser and added this thread as context and asked for some insightful comments I could leave (It doesn't seem to understand block-quoting format for this site): Analytical / Insightful (well-received on HN) > The interesting thing here isn’t that OpenAI made “a browser,” it’s that they’ve collapsed the boundary between the page and the assistant. Plugins and “GPTs” tried to bolt API…

It posts like the worst type of HN commenter.

ChatGPT Atlas just packages several existing ChatGPT features into Chrome, for example, the basic Chat UI and an Agent mode. By turning the browser into the product, it gives them access to more user data, enabling more personalized recommendations. It also allows them to execute specific tasks once users are logged into certain services.
