OpenAI is eyeing expanding its presence in the software industry through strategic advancements. In the major development, reports suggest that the tech giant is preparing to roll out an Artificial Intelligence-powered web browser, challenging its rival Google Chrome’s dominance in the global browser market. According to a Reuters report, the launch could take place in the coming week, transforming users' interaction with the internet. The browser integrated with AI capabilities adds to OpenAI’s broader strategy to dominate its service across consumers’ personal and work lives. 

OpenAI's innovations have increased the adoption of AI in software development, reshaping how developers interact with AI tools. With its AI web browser launch, the user will get to minimise the need to click through to websites. The browser may feature a ChatGPT-like native chat interface, allowing users to engage in conversations and perform actions directly. The browser would likely enable AI ‘agents’ to perform tasks such as booking reservations, filling out forms, etc., for users. 

The OpenAI browser is likely to leverage Chromium, Google’s open-source browser foundation, and the same underlying code and architecture as Google Chrome. For the unversed, Chromium also powers other major browsers such as Microsoft’s Edge and Opera.
