AI browser

An AI browser is a web browser with integrated artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, such as automatically summarizing web page content or answering questions about it. A more specialized type is an agentic browser, based on the concept of agentic AI, which can take actions – such as navigating webpages or filling out forms – on behalf of the user.^[1][2]

The two main artificial agent browsers are ChatGPT Atlas and Comet, both released in mid to late 2025.^{[citation needed]}

As of 2025, this is a recent development in the browser market, including new entrants from OpenAI, Opera and Perplexity.^[3][4] The designation of 'AI browser' also includes established browsers that later added non-agentic AI features, such as Microsoft Edge with the Copilot chatbot^[5], Google Chrome with the Gemini chatbot (for Windows desktop users in the US with their language set to English),^[6] and Firefox with multiple chatbot providers (such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, and Le Chat).^[7]

Rather than creating entirely new browsers, some AI browsing solutions integrate with existing browsers through extensions or companion applications. These tools add agentic capabilities to established browsers without requiring users to switch platforms. Examples include Composite, which functions as a cross-browser agent that works with Chrome, Edge, and other browsers to automate web-based tasks for workers.^[8][9][10]

Cloud-based implementations of AI browsers allow users to run automated browsing agents without local installation. These systems operate on remote servers using frameworks such as Puppeteer or Playwright. Examples include Browserbase,^[11] Browser-use and AI Browser.^[12] The AI typically parses the Document Object Model (DOM)^[13] to locate and interact with page elements, and may also analyze browser screenshots to interpret layout and structure.^{[citation needed]}
