OpenAI, the force behind ChatGPT, has unveiled the prototype of SearchGPT, an AI-powered search engine designed to provide users with real-time access to information from across the web. Like Perplexity, the company aims to reimagine the search experience by combining the capabilities of its AI models with up-to-date information, which is currently missing from the standard ChatGPT experience.
In its official announcement, OpenAI described SearchGPT as a means to streamline the search process. It offers direct answers to user queries along with citations of relevant sources. SearchGPT would also allow users to ask follow-up questions, enhancing the search experience with a conversational context that builds with each query.
