WATCH: Atlas Browser and the Future of Web Development

A new browser from OpenAI is sparking conversations across the web development community. But Atlas isn't just another alternative to Chrome or Safari - it represents a fundamental shift in how users will interact with websites.

In this video conversation, we sat down with Chris Rutledge, Head of Development at Show + Tell, to explore what Atlas Browser means for B2B brands, developers and the future of the web itself.

Beyond Browsing: The Agentic Web

Atlas is built to understand websites, as much as it displays them. By interpreting meaning and intent from both websites and users, it promises to transform how we interact with the web, from passive reading to active delegation of tasks.

"Atlas takes things a step further, allowing the browser to become the agent we use to complete tasks, to try and reason across multiple tabs, to understand the intention of the website and your intentions as a user. It's goal-focused and task-focused, rather than presentation-focused." - Chris, Head of Development at Show + Tell
