@OpenAI just launched ChatGPT Atlas, its own browser for macOS that bakes the model right into every tab. You can highlight text to summarize or rewrite it, chat alongside any site, and keep the AI open in a split view while you browse.
It even remembers what you ve been doing over time, though that s already raising privacy flags.
What s interesting is that Atlas doesn t feel like a new product it just feels like ChatGPT trying to absorb the browser itself.
I ve been building with AI tools a lot lately, and one thing kept bothering me: I had dozens of great prompts scattered everywhere Notion docs, chat histories, screenshots It was chaos.
I don't know about you, but I feel like I've been working non-stop for years now, and I don't know how I'm able to do it. And it's often because I include activities in my daily life that make my work more enjoyable or break up the monotony.
For example:
I exercise every day (and listen to video casts about tech, business, and marketing in the background)
I left the UK in August 2024 to go traveling with my partner. By the time I got back, I was single and unemployed. I wasn t in a good place. To cope with the traveling blues and the breakup, I turned to bedrotting. I was lying there, scrolling Instagram and TikTok, jumping from news app to news app, opening dozens of loops but never closing any of them. I was looking for distraction and some sort of comfort, but I couldn t get it on a screen. My phone habits were making me feel worse. So I set out to better manage my relationship with my device. And it didn t work. The existing screentime apps like Opal, Brick, and Jomo are very all-or-nothing. There's no middle ground where I felt I could stay informed without getting sucked back in by social media algorithms. I still wanted to go on YouTube to see what news channels were saying about international politics, but I didn t want to get distracted by all the other recommendations that happened to be there. I still wanted to see what my friends were up to on Instagram, but I didn't want to be enticed by the reels asking me to watch just one more video. I still wanted to check my emails, but I didn t want to lose half an hour to meaningless messages. Software s stickiness made it nearly impossible for me to stay disciplined. So I set out with a new mission: to make something for myself that would allow me to stay updated without becoming easily distracted. What I envisioned was a hub that put things in an environment where I had control letting me stay on my home turf instead of cruising through internet neighborhoods filled with booby traps. That way, I could avoid the endless stream of information, the notifications, and the slot machine-like UX. I ve started building that. Siftly (https://siftly.space/) is part wellness tool, part productivity tool. It s completely customizable and designed to put people back in control of their digital experience. Ironically, my relationship to screens has improved since I started creating the app because I'm coming at it from a creator mindset instead of a consumer mindset. But if Siftly doesn t work out, even if I go on the dole, I ll be doing it without the scroll.

Today I celebrate a big milestone. 365 days in a row active on Product Hunt. Honestly, quite a number given how many things happened in my life this year, it feels like I could write a book about it.
But consistency takes effort. Here are 3 things that helped me:
A four-hour flight with no Wi-Fi gave me the perfect excuse to reflect - and write about what life as an AI founder actually feels like. (It s also a decent cure for plane boredom)
TL;DR: Some days I can t imagine doing anything else. Other days I wonder what I m doing.
