OpenAI's Atlas Browser: Cynicism or Innovation?

Published on October 27, 2025 at 12:00 AM
OpenAI recently launched Atlas, a web browser featuring integrated ChatGPT and agent functionalities, designed to browse, provide answers, and automate tasks. After extensive testing, journalist Mat Honan concludes that Atlas is merely 'fine' and lacks practical value for users outside of OpenAI. According to Honan, Atlas appears to be 'cynicism masquerading as software.' Honan's review originally appeared in The Debrief.
