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.

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.

According to three people familiar with the matter who spoke to Reuters, OpenAI is preparing to launch its AI-powered web browser in the coming weeks. Built
