Evolving Atlas into ChatGPT for browser-based agentic work
OpenAI’s deprecation notice for ChatGPT Atlas, its standalone AI browser launched on Mac in October 2025 — retired roughly ten months later.
We’re deprecating Atlas and moving browser-based agentic capabilities into ChatGPT and Codex. We are building on what we learned from Atlas to support a more capable browser experience in ChatGPT, including multiple tabs, downloads, improved navigation, account login support, and other browser improvements where available.
Atlas is scheduled to stop working on August 9, 2026. Before then, export or save any important Atlas data, including bookmarks and pages you want to keep. After that date, Atlas may no longer open, browse, or support browser-based agentic workflows.
For deeper agentic browser work - try the new ChatGPT desktop app. It’s designed to support more capable browser-based agentic workflows in ChatGPT, including multiple tabs, downloads, improved navigation, account login support, and related browser improvements where available.
For browser-based help in Chrome, try the ChatGPT Chrome extension or sidebar, where available. This can help you use ChatGPT alongside Chrome while you browse.
What happens to my Atlas data?
- Bookmarks will not transfer automatically. Export your Atlas bookmarks before August 9, 2026, then import them into another browser such as Chrome.
- Open tabs may not transfer automatically. Bookmark important pages, copy URLs into a document, or otherwise save pages you want to keep before August 9, 2026.
- Browser history may not transfer automatically. Save or bookmark pages you may need later before August 9, 2026.
- Cookies: Atlas will provide export options where available. Do not share cookie or session files unless you trust the recipient and understand what access the files may provide.
- ChatGPT conversation history is separate from Atlas browser data. You can continue using ChatGPT conversations in ChatGPT, subject to your plan, workspace settings, and account access.
