Atlas can navigate websites like LinkedIn, identify potential contacts based on a query, and click through to extract hidden information like emails, compiling it all into a ready-to-use list without any coding required.
Contrary to being overhyped, AI agent browsers are actually underrated for a small but growing set of complex tasks like data scraping, research consolidation, and form automation. For these use cases, their value is immense and time-saving.
Compared to its competitors, Dia is superior at automatically discerning which of your many open browser tabs are relevant to a specific query. This reduces the need for users to manually curate sources and avoids "context pollution."
For teams in the Atlassian ecosystem, Dia can scan GitHub repositories for bugs or analyze Loom video bug reports and automatically create detailed Jira tickets. This feature streamlines the product development workflow by automating documentation.
By granting Atlas access to your Gmail, you can ask it to identify all recurring expenses based on receipt emails. It creates a comprehensive list, saving you from manually hunting for forgotten subscriptions and managing personal finances.
AI browsers like Atlas may initially refuse to scrape sites like LinkedIn due to built-in guardrails. Explicitly prompting the tool to "use your agent mode" can often serve as a workaround to bypass these restrictions and execute the task.
Atlas can parse an uploaded resume and automatically populate fields on web forms. It even generates answers for open-ended qualitative questions like "Why do you want to work here?", turning a major pain point into an automated task.
You can instruct an AI browser to navigate through your product's user flows page-by-page. The agent will document each step and can even include screenshots, automating what is typically a very manual and time-consuming process for product teams.
The agentic nature of browsers like ChatGPT Atlas, where they visually process the screen and act like a user, makes them robust but not fast. For quick operations under five minutes, traditional methods or faster AI browsers like Dia are more efficient.
