OpenAI Is Shutting Down Its Atlas Browser and Moving Its Features Into ChatGPT

OpenAI is closing Atlas, a web browser it launched last October, in August 2026. The browser's features—the ability for ChatGPT to perform tasks online on your behalf—are being built directly into ChatGPT's main application on your computer. This is typical OpenAI behavior: test new standalone products, learn from them, then merge the best features into ChatGPT itself.
