According to Sam Altman, your web browser is outdated. “AI represents a rare, once-a-decade opportunity to rethink what a browser can be,” OpenAI’s CEO said yesterday when announcing the company’s latest product: ChatGPT Atlas.

ChatGPT Atlas and Perplexity Comet both position themselves as AI-first browsers, but they differ deeply in how they reason, act, automate, and handle multi-step tasks with or without user supervision.
