OpenAI retires Atlas browser, folds agents into ChatGPT
OpenAI shut down its ChatGPT Atlas browser on August 9, nine months after launch, moving its agentic browsing work into the ChatGPT and Codex apps and a new ChatGPT Work desktop app instead of maintaining a standalone browser. OpenAI said Atlas served as a testing ground for capabilities such as multi-tab navigation, downloads, and account logins that are now being built directly into ChatGPT.
