But for me, I just don't see it replacing any meaningful behavior in any short order.

I've also, as I said, think I'm going to be pretty far back on the adoption curve when it comes to having agents do things like shopping or ordering food or plane tickets or whatever for me.

So take that with that grain of salt.

Still, I think that agentic use is one of the two big potential long-term value propositions of these browsers, and the one that is ultimately the most different in some ways from your existing browsing experience.

The second, frankly, is less about browsing and more just a better way to use your LLM.

And that might sound dismissive, but frankly, these LLMs are so powerful.

that a better way to use them could be enough of a reason to switch browsers.

And of course, what matters here is that the native integration into the browser means that ChatGPT has all sorts of context without you having to port over the context.

As Swix put it, this is the single biggest step up for OpenAI in collecting your full context and giving fully personalizable AGI.

Context is the limiting factor, and as Marc Andreessen said, the browser is the new operating system.

The only move bigger than this for collecting context is shipping consumer hardware.

So what does that actually mean?

Let's take a use case of creating social media content, in this case, trying to write a tweet that has the potential to go viral.

The way that you would do this before is, of course, you would go to ChatGPT, you would copy-paste in the thing that you were thinking about, and then when you found a version that you liked, you would bring it back to Twitter or whatever social network you're using, copy it in there, and that's the experience.

Now, I don't mean to pretend that this is some wildly burdensome process, but here's the version of it integrated into this AI browser.

So here we have X slash Twitter pulled up now.

I've drafted my tweet.

Computer use and agents are great and all that, but my definition of AGI is what percentage of banger tweets were written by ChatGPT.

I pull up the ChatGPT browser and I say, make this tweet better.

I don't have to say anything else because it knows what I'm referring to because of the context from the other side of the browser window.
