For example, do you want to recall the tabs from your search for Halloween decorations? Then the chatbot will reopen them for you in the browser. This memory is optional, and users retain control over what information is stored or deleted.
Agent Mode
Agent mode allows ChatGPT to proactively perform actions, such as opening tabs, gathering information, or scheduling appointments.
This mode is being launched as a preview and is available to Plus, Pro, and Business users. OpenAI does warn that this feature may make mistakes in complex workflows. Security measures are built in, such as restrictions on access to files or other applications.
User Control
Users can decide which pages ChatGPT can analyze. They can manage the memory, exclude pages, or enable incognito mode. They can also indicate whether their browser data may contribute to the training of the AI models. Parents are given the option to exercise additional supervision via parental controls, including disabling memory and agent mode.
ChatGPT Atlas is currently only available for macOS. Versions for Windows, iOS, and Android are in development. Business users and schools can also use the browser, provided that the administrator enables it.
