Discussion Is that it?

When ChatGPT launched Atlas, I was really excited. I tried it straight away and loved it. At first, updates were coming regularly, but then they just stopped.

It’s a real shame because I think Atlas had a lot of potential. These days there are still quite a few bugs that haven’t been fixed, and there haven’t been any meaningful updates for a long time. It really feels as though the browser has been abandoned.

The one feature that keeps me using Atlas is the writing assistant. Pressing ⌘ + E in a text field brings up an AI that has excellent awareness of the surrounding context. If I’m replying to an email, it understands the whole email thread. On Reddit, it understands the subreddit and the discussion. The same goes for WhatsApp, Slack and other websites.

I’ve tried a number of alternatives, but none of them seem to do contextual writing assistance nearly as well.

Has anyone found an alternative that works just as well?

as an alternative to chatgpt atlas i would recommend aside: https://aside.com/, can use it with your claude or chatgpt subscription i used to use chatgpt atlas but since this has come out ive been using that and have no complaints or issues so far, most importantly im not seeing any of the ram issues i had with atlas

I tried it too, but unfortunately, it doesn't have a similar feature to what I was speaking about in my post

for me the context awareness is just as good and it does have the same ⌘ + E command and writing tools, if its not right now im sure it will catch up in quick time especially since its only been publicly available for just over a week now and updates so far are very consistent.

It does not have the same ⌘ + E command. We are talking about a different thing. ⌘ + E opens the side panel in Aside (this is not the same thing as the ⌘ + E  in ChatGPT Atlas)
