The Browser Company had no chance (obviously). OpenAI is still going to run over everyone else except for Chrome and Comet, unless they remove the login wall.
Atlas was built by folks that came from The Browser Company (and Chrome).

#592Perplexity is in real trouble. OpenAI and now Anthropic realized that the real money is in search. Perplexity showed the business model and OpenAI is using it just like meta does with snap. They don’t even own their own models, not that it’s a big deal given there are tons of free ones out there.

#593For those who don't want to switch browsers I built a chrome extension that lets you chat with page, draft emails and messages, fix grammar, translate, summarize page, etc. You can use models not just from OpenAI but also from Google and Anthropic. Yes, you can use your own API key as well. https://jetwriter.ai Feedbacks are welcome.
Can’t believe the top comment to this post is an ad of a competitor. No offense, your extension seems fine, but realistically how are you planning on surviving given OpenAI has moved to this space?

#594Earlier quoted context omitted.
lol did you link the sign up link. It redirects to /app. Anyways give up there are too many of these
They have 600k+ users - this is an achievement to be lauded! Congrats on building something people want.
Thank you for the encouraging words! I've been building this for the last 3 years and I'm glad people are finding my tiny project helpful.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#595One thing that I would watch out for with _all_ OpenAI products is that they use Keychain's Access Control lists to encrypt data such that _you_ cannot unlock or access it. It's a change that they made to 'fix' this issue: https://pvieito.com/2024/07/chatgpt-unprotected-conversation... The net effect however is that if you use their apps, you can get data _in_, but you can only get it _out_ in ways that their apps th…
You: “Has someone got a good way of getting my chats out of ChatGPT, whether on web or through the desktop app, perhaps as an MCP?”
ChatGPT: “Treat MCP as “Multi-Chat Package” (zip/tar of Markdown along with a manifest).”
Is this the PhD-level AI we were promised?

None taken :)
I'm not looking to become "Big" or "Rich", I want to just sustain my current lifestyle while building something I'm passionate about and I think this market is big enough to have room for such small players like me.
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#597A browser? They're overextending themselves. Rather than fix all the bugs in their chat interface, or finding ways to make the model suck less, they're throwing every random project at the wall, hoping to justify their insane spend.
Every day I use an AI company's chat interface. Every day I report bugs that go into oblivion. Every day I wonder why the interface has no useful features to manage my data, and the ever-increasing collection of giant chat windows I'm never going to manually search through. I wonder why all the connectors are proprietary, and there isn't one just called "IMAPv4", "CalDAV", "S3", "SFTP".
I don't think these companies are after a user. I think they're after "the big money" - advertisements, contracts. No need to make it user-friendly if the enterprise sales team is kicking ass. The product is the shiny box you sell to executives, and inside is "total number of new eyeballs", "engagement trends". Everything new is old again.

#598This’d be a great way to hedge against folks like cloudfront aggressively restricting your training scraping too! Endpoints everywhere
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#599ChatGPT quickly became a replacement for google search in many usecases, now it is coming for Chrome's lunch. What's going to be google's response here? They can't afford to lose dominance in these markets, surely they're coming after Ads next.
google is gonna wait for them to burn every cent of that 500 billion dollars and then when no more investors are interested in funding open AI, the entire AI bubble ll collapse. Why? because the LLMs have already hit their limits. There aint no AGI coming as GPT 6. You can tell because suddenly company focus has shifted to making browsers
Re: ChatGPT Atlas
#600bit off topic but openai seems to be focusing completely on Apple's ecosystem now, particularly for the US market too and as non-apple user outside of the US I feel completely left out.
Half a trillion dollar company not being to produce multi-platform software when it has never been as easy as it is today is a really bad look. I genuinely don't understand how they could ever fulfill their claims of being good AGI stewards with this product track record that leaves out big majority of humanity.
