OpenAI to launch AI-powered web browser
Digest more
Perplexity’s AI-powered Comet browser is part of a rising trend toward AI browsers, but whether it’s the future or just a pricey experiment remains to be seen.
OpenAI set to launch AI browser in coming weeks and anticipates to directly compete with Google by taking advantage of ChatGPT active users.
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.
OpenAI will reportedly release its own web browser, putting it in position to challenge Google’s long dominance in web search. Welcome to AI Decoded, Fast Company’s weekly newsletter that breaks down the most important news in the world of AI.
