Who is the Ai browser?

Openai launches AI powered web browser It’s called Chatgpt Atlas This week, that got me wondering: Is it finally time for ditch safaris?

The news is on our minds as Max Zeff, Sean O’kane, and I discuss it in the landscape browser – including Some alternatives are better known – in the latest episode of Business podcast. But it doesn’t sound like anything that would make it sound big.

For one thing, Sean notes that many companies have tried and ultimately failed to get rid of major browsers because they couldn’t make money in browsers. Of course, less can be a problem for Openai, as well Multiple Funding RoundsSee rank-.

Max, meanwhile, has tested it in Atlas and other browsers that promise the Ai Agent will do the work for you, and says that there is “high efficiency. At other times, you end up watching the agent “click on the website” – are there any normal users who cry? Besides, there is A significant security risk

Read a preview of the conversation below, edited for length and clarity.

Anthony: I’m still on Safari, but as far as the search engine, which is tied to the browser, I’ve tried to experiment with non-Google (Options,) because I’m tired because I’m tired of seeing all the search stuff.

I also have a question about this: if this AI browser removes it, what does it mean for the ideas of the web that exist in general? You can still go to the web page, but I don’t think it would suggest that the website will just become less and less important than browsing and these chatbots.

max: I think that this has become a great idea that people talk about a lot: What are web agents? And I think that’s a very good question. People have tried to come up with all these solutions to work in this future (they) feel is coming.

And I think that there are certain aspects that remind us of previous waves of technology, “okay, but what is the actual experience? What is the experience of using one of these tools?”

And it just doesn’t feel very good right now. I’ve tried to talk to Atlas and I’ve tried to comet and the best guess is, it’s a small efficiency gain. This makes you a bit more efficient.

But most of the time I’ve tried this, you’re slowly watching the clicks on the website, doing tasks that I might never do in the real world. I have, like, find a recipe and add all the ingredients to InstaCart. I’ve done it before. I think all the tech bros always say that example in the video, and I’m like, “I didn’t know people did that.”

This is just this gap, in front of the technology industry today (saying) “We built all these tools for web agents,” but why do normal people use this? And I don’t know.

Sean: I don’t use one of them (AI browser) but a large part of it is because I still have my old head when I search to find web page documents that I can’t do, which only find web page documents that I know, a lot of Boolean searches on Google. Maybe I’ll try today to see if Google actually takes the initiative and disables Boolean search, which it feels like it already has, but it doesn’t.

The interesting thing for me about this Ai browser is that we have seen other companies try to compete in the browser space and they always lose because they can’t make money on the browser as a product. And someone has tried to fill the front, they can get a little bit, but it’s just not sustainable in the face of Safari or Chrome or Firefox, for that matter.

What’s interesting to me… Do you finally have a company that has no boundaries, so they can ride as they want, because they’re not trying to make money for this. In the end, he might, but Openai doesn’t have to make money for the next year or two, he can have an exit and let it take shape.
