Could OpenAI's rumored browser be a Chrome-killer? Here's what I'm expecting

Real soon now, OpenAI will be shipping its initial AI-first web browser. Here's what we know so far about it and its AI browser rivals.

For all of the usual AI agent tricks in its bag, such as ordering groceries or booking meetings, it's still an external program that runs its own computer to handle " complex tasks from start to finish," with a "visual browser that interacts with the web." Behind the scenes, it leverages Operator's ability to interact with websites, Deep Research's skill in synthesizing information, and ChatGPT's intelligence and conversational fluency to deliver good answers. Early reports purporting to come from developers and beta releases suggest it will also include features such as AI-generated summaries of articles, videos, and PDFs, and support for images, voice, and files, building on capabilities seen in GPT-4o.
