OpenAI Launches SearchGPT

July 27, 2024

OpenAI has released SearchGPT, which is a challenge to Google’s long-time reign as the best search engine. The goal of this AI-powered search tool is to improve the user experience by giving them information and results from the internet in real-time.

Key Features of SearchGPT

SearchGPT stands out because it gives you a summary of your search results along with links to the sources. Users can ask follow-up questions to get more contextual answers, which makes their search queries more engaging. SearchGPT is being tested right now with a small group of users and publishers to get their comments. People who want to try out the function can sign up for a waitlist at chatgpt.com/search.

Future Integration with ChatGPT

OpenAI wants to add SearchGPT straight to its ChatGPT platform. This could make it easier to search and give users a better way to interact with AI. Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic, stressed how important it is to make sure that as AI search technology grows, it treats news and publishers with respect. This is an important thing to think about if you want to keep the information ecosystem strong.

Background on AI in Search

The first big search engines to use AI were Google and Bing in November 2022, when ChatGPT came out. Microsoft used OpenAI’s technology in its Bing search engine, and in May, Google debuted Overviews, which are summaries made by AI. Google’s Overviews feature summarizes user searches with text at the top of the results page. This could affect standard advertising revenue streams by giving more weight to summary content than site links.
