Revolutionizing Search: OpenAI Unveils SearchGPT
OpenAI has announced SearchGPT, an AI-powered search engine that organizes and summarizes information instead of providing plain links, initially available to 10,000 test users.

It’s the start of what could become a meaningful threat to Google, which has rushed to bake in AI features across its search engine, fearing that users will flock to competing products that offer the tools first. It also puts OpenAI in more direct competition with the startup Perplexity, which bills itself as an AI “answer” engine. Perplexity has recently come under criticism for an AI summaries feature that publishers claimed was directly ripping off their work.
SearchGPT is a prototype powered by GPT-4, with plans to integrate it into ChatGPT and potential future monetization strategies.
