OpenAI is reportedly developing its own web browser, which may launch in the coming weeks as competition in AI-powered search intensifies.
OpenAI is preparing to release a proprietary web browser integrated with its AI capabilities, according to reports from The Information. The product is expected to enter public testing within weeks, positioning the company to challenge Google and Microsoft in AI-driven search and content access.
The browser will reportedly be powered by ChatGPT and designed to handle complex queries with real-time web data. Unlike standard search engines, it would allow users to interact with pages, generate summaries, and perform contextual tasks directly through the interface.

Sources familiar with the development said the product is currently being tested internally and could become available to select users soon. OpenAI has not officially confirmed the release timeline.
If launched, the browser would further expand OpenAI’s ecosystem beyond chat-based interfaces and developer tools, marking a significant shift toward consumer-facing utilities.
The development also raises questions about data privacy, ad models, and how OpenAI intends to handle web indexing, content rights, and partnerships.
OpenAI’s move follows the recent release of Grok-4 by Elon Musk’s xAI and growing integration of AI tools into platforms like Microsoft Edge and Google Search.
