Just like Google, ChatGPT will answer your queries

OpenAI has rolled out an AI-powered search engine for its paid subscribers, with plans to extend access to free, educational, and enterprise users in the coming weeks. 

The exciting part? OpenAI has seamlessly integrated this new search feature into ChatGPT’s existing interface. This means you can now ask questions in a conversational tone and receive real-time web results. Whether you want to let ChatGPT decide when to search the web or prefer to initiate a search yourself, the choice is in your hands. This positions ChatGPT as a direct competitor to other tech giants like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini, who have already embraced real-time internet access.

Start interacting with AI

According to OpenAI, the search functionality has been developed using advanced search technologies and is built on a refined version of the GPT-4 model. Initially tested with around 10,000 users in July, the feature is now set to become more widely available, hinting at a broader shift in how we interact with AI.

As search technology becomes a hot topic in the AI space, with companies like Meta also planning to launch their own AI-powered search engines on popular platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram, the competition is heating up. OpenAI’s new feature claims to make finding useful information easier and more intuitive, encouraging users to engage in deeper conversations and follow-up questions.
