OpenAI is planning to launch an AI web browser that may feature its Operator AI agent to perform tasks like booking reservations and filling out forms for users.
The browser is expected to have a native ChatGPT interface for interacting with the chatbot directly and will be powered by Google's open-source engine, Chromium.
Perplexity recently launched a Chromium-based web browser called Comet, while OpenAI's browser might compete with Google's Chrome following a potential antitrust ruling.
OpenAI had previously explored the idea of launching a browser and integrating its search engine with ChatGPT, indicating a strategic expansion.
