The Neuron ● Covered by 6 sources
OpenAI is discontinuing ChatGPT Atlas, its standalone desktop browser, in favor of a new unified ChatGPT desktop app that includes a Work agent and browser capabilities. The deprecation date is set for August 9, 2026. Users will migrate to the new desktop app, which also offers a Chrome plugin for those preferring to stay in their existing browser.
Why it matters
OpenAI is sunsetting its early browser experiment Atlas and shifting those browser features into the main app and a Chrome sidebar.
