How we built OWL, the new architecture behind our ChatGPT-based browser, Atlas

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Atlas, a new web browser designed to integrate ChatGPT directly into the browsing experience. The browser utilizes a new architecture called OWL (OpenAI's Web Layer) which separates the Chromium runtime from the main application, enabling faster startup and improved stability. Atlas aims to act as a co-pilot, assisting users with tasks, research, and analysis across the web, with features like 'agent mode' and optional 'browser memories' for context retention. The browser is initially available on macOS for various user tiers, with plans for Windows, iOS, and Android versions soon. AI
