OpenAI is ready to make a big push into the browser market. As per a new report, San Francisco-based AI firm OpenAI is developing its own web browser—and it could be releasing sooner than you might expect.

According to Reuters, OpenAI is "very close" to launching an AI-based browser that has the potential to directly compete with Google Chrome and other top platforms. Although the official name of the browser hasn't been reported yet, sources indicate that it will be released with integrated native AI features and potentially revolutionise the way we surf the web.

A Smarter Way to Surf the Web

This won’t be your standard browser. OpenAI’s version is expected to be “AI-native”, meaning it will integrate artificial intelligence at its core, not just as an add-on. The report hints that users may be able to perform tasks simply by typing in natural language—think searching, summarising, or even navigating websites, all through a conversational interface.

Though specific features remain under wraps, this push aligns with OpenAI’s broader ambition to integrate AI into daily life—both at home and at work.

Part of a Bigger Plan

The browser isn’t the only thing OpenAI is cooking up. The report also mentions a new “study together” feature that could be coming to ChatGPT soon. This is all part of OpenAI’s larger strategy to weave its technology into the fabric of everyday routines and eventually build a Google-like ecosystem, complete with its own search engine and browser.

Such integration would not only enhance user experience but also grant OpenAI exposure to a large-scale dataset necessary to build subsequent iterations of its AI, particularly as it gets closer to artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Competition Is Already Heating Up

Notably, OpenAI is not the sole entity interested in this opportunity. The Browser Company has just released an AI-powered browser of its own, Dia, which includes a built-in AI chatbot that can pull context from open tabs to provide assistance in real-time. Although Dia is only available at the moment to a small subset of Mac users in beta, it indicates the heightened interest in more intelligent, intuitive browsing experiences.

As OpenAI continues to grow its reach beyond chatbots and APIs alone, its reported browser could be a giant leap into reshaping how we engage with the web—and where AI is involved.
