OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Atlas, a new browser built around its flagship conversational AI, placing ChatGPT at the core of the web experience and redefining how users research, browse and book.
Key features include:
A persistent ChatGPT sidebar so users can ask questions, summarize content or perform actions without leaving the page.
“Agent Mode,” which allows the browser to complete multi-step tasks such as research or booking.
Optional “Browser Memories” that let ChatGPT remember prior sessions and apply that context to future workflows, while leaving privacy controls in the user’s hands.
For the travel and aviation industry, the launch of Atlas signals a major shift. A browser that can book flights, plan itineraries and manage tasks moves part of the travel-ecosystem directly into the hands of a tech platform, potentially disrupting traditional booking channels, OTAs and airline-direct booking strategies.
At the same time, the power to execute tasks autonomously raises fresh questions for aviation: Who controls the journey? Who owns the data and interface? And how do legacy players maintain relevance when an AI-driven browser may sit between travellers and providers? In that sense, Atlas doesn’t just expand what browsers can do; it challenges the entire value chain of travel tech.
