Introduction of SearchGPT
OpenAI has launched SearchGPT, an AI-powered search engine designed to organise and summarise real-time internet information. Unlike traditional search engines, SearchGPT provides users with concise summaries and descriptions of search results, complete with attribution links. This new tool, currently a prototype, aims to integrate these search capabilities into ChatGPT.
Limited Release and Features
Initially available to 10,000 test users, SearchGPT leverages the GPT-4 model and works with third-party partners to gather content. Features include follow-up questions and “visual answers,” although details on the latter are still emerging. The goal is to rival Google and Perplexity by offering more interactive and user-friendly search experiences.
Collaboration and Future Prospects
OpenAI developed SearchGPT in collaboration with news partners like The Wall Street Journal and The Associated Press, ensuring clear attribution and publisher engagement. The prototype release allows OpenAI to refine the tool and address issues, with plans to make it a significant player in the search engine market.
