OpenAI Poised to Launch AI-Powered Web Browser Within Weeks

OpenAI is reportedly on the verge of launching its own web browser, potentially within a matter of weeks. This strategic move aims to more deeply embed the company’s powerful AI services into users’ daily digital lives, aligning with its broader push into hardware integration.

Sources indicate the browser will feature a built-in ChatGPT-style chatbot, fundamentally altering how users interact with the web. It’s also expected to incorporate advanced ‘agentic AI’ capabilities, allowing the browser to perform actions on a user’s behalf, such as booking reservations. OpenAI’s direct access to web browsing data through this browser could facilitate these advanced functionalities.

A key aspect of this development is OpenAI’s apparent intent to gather more user data, mirroring strategies that have benefited companies like Google with its Chrome browser. The design is said to prioritize interactions within the AI chatbot interface, potentially reducing direct traffic to external websites, similar to Google’s AI Overviews, which could impact content publishers.

This initiative places OpenAI in a competitive landscape, following recent releases of AI-centric browsers by Perplexity (Comet) and Opera. Despite the massive user base of ChatGPT (over 500 million weekly active users), challenging Google Chrome, which boasts billions of users, will be a significant hurdle. Interestingly, OpenAI’s browser is reportedly built on Chromium, Google’s open-source code.
