OpenAI announced it will shut down its AI browser, Atlas, on August 9, advising users to export their data beforehand. However, the company isn't abandoning its browser ambitions; instead, it is redistributing the agentic browsing features tested in Atlas into the ChatGPT desktop app and a Google Chrome extension. This follows a previous directive to cut back on 'side quests'.
