"A few minutes into using ChatGPT Atlas, the new internet browser from OpenAI, I ran into quite a big road block. This isn't like Google Chrome, which is used by roughly 60% of people. It's all built around a chatbot you're meant to talk to to surf the web. "Messages limit reached," read one note. "No available models support the tools in use," said another. And then: "You've hit the free plan limit for GPT-5.""
"OpenAI says it will make using the internet easier and more efficient. A step closer to "a true super-assistant". But assistants, super or not, don't come free - and the company needs to start making a lot more money from its 800 million users. OpenAI says Atlas offers us an opportunity to "rethink what it means to use the web". It looks somewhat similar to Chrome or Apple's Safari to begin with, apart from the big difference - a sidebar chatbot."
ChatGPT Atlas is an internet browser built around a sidebar chatbot that helps users navigate and interact with web pages. The browser provides features like highlighting deals and comparing prices, and offers actions such as booking, but many actions are restricted to paying customers. Users can encounter message limits and model/tool availability errors on the free plan, including limits for GPT-5. The product aims to reimagine web use but functions as a premium product that requires subscription for full capability. The browser will generate revenue for OpenAI as the company pursues profitability alongside its long-term AI mission.
