OpenAI has recently introduced a new AI search tool called SearchGPT, designed to provide users with fast and accurate answers by leveraging real-time web information. This prototype combines OpenAI’s powerful models with current web data to streamline the search process.

Currently available to a select group of users and publishers for feedback, SearchGPT aims to simplify finding relevant information online. The AI-powered tool offers direct responses with up-to-date information and clear links to sources, enhancing the search experience.

One of the standout features of SearchGPT is its ability to handle follow-up questions like a natural conversation, similar to ChatGPT. This feature sets it apart from traditional search engines, making it a valuable tool for users seeking interactive and informative search results.

OpenAI emphasizes its commitment to supporting publishers and creators by prominently citing and linking to publishers in search results. Additionally, tools are being introduced for publishers to manage their presence in SearchGPT, providing more control over how their content is displayed.

Future updates for SearchGPT include features for local information and commerce, as well as incorporating feedback from users and publishers. The best aspects of SearchGPT will eventually be integrated into ChatGPT, offering an enhanced conversational AI experience.
