OpenAI, the company known for developing ChatGPT, is gearing up to compete with Google in the search engine market with its new “SearchGPT” prototype. This innovative tool combines the power of artificial intelligence with information from the web to provide users with quick and relevant answers to their questions.
Currently, OpenAI is testing SearchGPT with a select group of users and publishers to refine its features. The goal is to eventually integrate this tool into ChatGPT, enhancing the overall experience for users.
SearchGPT allows users to make conversational queries, making it feel more like interacting with a person than using a traditional search engine.
This development comes shortly after Google’s introduction of AI-generated summaries called “Overviews” in their search results. OpenAI aims to differentiate itself by focusing on the conversational aspect of search, offering a more engaging way for people to find the information they need.
Additionally, OpenAI is working closely with publishers to ensure that SearchGPT supports journalism and respects the rights of content creators. This collaboration is crucial as it helps maintain the integrity of original content while also providing value to users.
