The startup that created ChatGPT, OpenAI, is currently developing something even more ambitious, Aura, a reportedly AI-powered web browser. Even though the name isn't official, the terms "in Aura" and "Aura Sidebar" have already appeared within the ChatGPT web interface. According to these hints, OpenAI is preparing to challenge browser giants like Google Chrome and Firefox, but with a creative twist.
Early reports indicate that Aura will be compatible with Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS because it is being developed on Chromium, the same open-source framework used by Chrome and Edge. However, Aura seeks to do more than just display websites, in contrast with traditional browsers. It intends to completely include AI into browsing, enhancing the overall intelligent and interactive experience.
Instead of constantly switching tabs or navigating through multiple links, Aura aims to simplify browsing by allowing users to interact directly with the web through conversational AI. With this integration, tasks can be performed more efficiently and naturally, making the overall online experience smoother and more intuitive.
Among the anticipated features of Aura are web page summarisation, intelligent form autofilling, seamless appointment scheduling, and the presence of AI agents capable of operating directly within the browser. These capabilities aim to enhance productivity and streamline everyday browsing tasks through smart automation.
With its privacy-focused, AI-first alternative, OpenAI may be competing for Google's huge market share (now over 65%) in browsers. Even a small percentage of the 500 million+ weekly users of ChatGPT who convert to Aura could have an important effect.
According to reports, Aura is an aspect of OpenAI's broader strategy to integrate AI into daily tools. We may be a few days away from a completely new way to use the internet, with the reports of a launch in the upcoming weeks.
