If OpenAI does start offering users access to its own browser, it would be following Perplexity, which released a browser with agentic AI functions on Wednesday. That browser, Comet, is currently only available to those with a $200 per month Perplexity Max subscription. Opera also released a "fully agentic" browser back in May.

OpenAI is reportedly preparing to launch its own AI-powered web browser in the coming weeks, setting the stage for a direct challenge to Google Chrome's dominance in the browser market, according to Reuters.
