ChatGPT Atlas: Here's how to set up OpenAI browser, import bookmarks, and passwords from old browser

After months of testing, OpenAI launched the generative Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based browser ChatGPT Atlas earlier this week.

It is powered by the advanced ChatGPT large language model and is capable of offering results beyond keyword-driven search. It can summarise a website, turn long-form articles into small byte-sized pointers for better understanding, offer suggestions or chalk up a family trip plan with a detailed itinerary and more.

Also, thanks to the Memories feature, the more the user utilises the ChatGPT Atlas, the latter will be able to understand the context of the queries and respond more accurately than the previous time.

For instance, if you are a software programmer and looking for new openings in multiple companies, you can ask-- "Find all the job postings I was looking at last week and create a summary of industry trends so I can prepare for interviews". ChatGPT Atlas will be able to list all industry-related interview questions, and users can prepare answers and be ready for any tough interviews.

Like on the ChatGPT AI bot, the Memories feature is optional on ChatGPT Atlas. Users can disable or enable it anytime during usage.

For now, ChatGPT Atlas is available only for macOS-based computers to Free, Plus, Pro, and Go users. Atlas is also available in beta for Business, and if enabled by their plan administrator, for Enterprise and Edu users. The company plans to bring the ChatGPT Atlas to Windows, iOS, and Android soon.

Here's how to set up ChatGPT Atlas on your Mac computer:

Step 1: Download ChatGPT Atlas from the official OpenAI website(here) and install the browser.

To transfer the bookmarked website pages and other details to ChatGPT Atlas, the user has to sign in to ChatGPT, and it offers the option to import bookmarks, saved passwords, and browsing history from the current browser.

Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Select ChatGPT Atlas at the top of your desktop window and select Import data from another browser

Step 2: In the pop-up window, select Start import

Allow Keychain Access. This lets the user import saved passwords from Chrome or other browsers. Users can remove access at any time.

Step 3: Once you have completed authentication, select Done.

Here's how to import bookmarks from an old browser to ChatGPT Atlas:

Users can transfer browsing setup into Atlas from Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or an HTML export file.

Step 1: Open Atlas.

​Step 2: Go to Settings → Manage bookmarks

​Step 3: Choose a source browser or “Bookmarks HTML file,” select what to import, then import.

Where imports go:

If the user had no bookmarks, imports appear on the bookmarks bar; if he/she already had bookmarks, imports are added to the “Other bookmarks” folder. Users can also export the bookmarks to an HTML file at any time.
