The browser is slated to launch in the coming weeks and aims to use artificial intelligence to fundamentally change how consumers browse the web.

OpenAI is planning to introduce a web browser that would be available as an alternative to Safari and Google Chrome, reports Reuters. The

If OpenAI does start offering users access to its own browser, it would be following Perplexity, which released a browser with agentic AI functions on Wednesday. That browser, Comet, is currently only available to those with a $200 per month Perplexity Max subscription. Opera also released a "fully agentic" browser back in May.

The browser could streamline compatibility with OpenAI's AI agent, Operator, which is designed to take over a user's desktop and perform virtual tasks including those using a web browser, like shopping online. By having access to your data, the AI agent would know what sites to use for tasks like booking reservations.

A test of the app Dia illustrates that the humble web browser may be the path to making artificial intelligence more natural to use.

Perplexity has officially made the move to web browsers, embedding its AI tools into Comet, its new Chromium browser.

Think Dia's just for shopping? You're in for a surprise - there's so much more it can do, and I'm excited about what's still to come.
