Dana DiTomaso confirms that ChatGPT's new browser Atlas appears as Chrome in GA4.
And, all visits appear as new visitors even if returning because Atlas doesn't use cookies.
What a mess.

New browser! Exciting! But I need to talk about something I'm seeing with ChatGPT's Atlas browser because I have thoughts 🧵👇

Great idea!
We found a new way to use AI to update old content, instead of prompting AI to do the update, we built a voice AI agent to call client SMEs.and ask them questions... I've been doing this for 6 months for myself and the results are quite good.

Use AI to call your SMEs and create content with substance, not slop
Enhance content quality using Voice AI to interview SMEs, adding substance and relevance while saving time for busy coworkers. Do it in docs, or build an n8n workflow, just do it.

Were you impacted by the August 2025 spam update? I don't usually spend too much time with spam updates, but I think this one impacted a lot of decent sites.
