Product workflows / Increasing responsibility
Introducing ChatGPT Atlas
The examples are different tasks, so their connection comes from an escalation in responsibility. Contextual answers establish that the assistant can work with a page. Editing and recall then make it useful across work already underway. The shopping sequence extends that logic to action. Its permission and checkout states matter because they make the boundary of delegation visible.

- How much of the work can a browser assistant take on?

Proposed adaptation
What to borrow.
- Order connected capabilities by the responsibility they take on.
- Keep the permission and completion states that define what the system actually did.
Order related capabilities by increasing responsibility; preserve authorization and inspectable completion states.

What the ending can support.
The chapters increase delegated responsibility: understand, assist, remember, act. The last task retains a human checkout boundary.
Removing the human boundary can make a prepared result look like a completed external action.
