OpenAI is planning to launch an AI web browser in the “coming weeks,” according to a report from Reuters.

Perplexity’s Comet browser is a strong first step toward smarter web browsing. But OpenAI’s rumored browser has the potential to go further by offering a more intelligent, personalized and action-ready browsing experience.
