OpenAI launches ChatGPT Search, a new feature that breaks into the internet search market long dominated by Google. This upgraded version of the popular chatbot allows users to access real-time information from the web, delivering standard search results such as local restaurant reviews, travel blogs, and live sports scores.
The tool sets itself apart by summarizing the gathered information and clearly citing its sources. To ensure high-quality results, OpenAI forms partnerships with major media companies including The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and Vox to incorporate their content directly into the search output.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman describes the feature as a faster and easier way to find information, especially for complex research queries. While the company relies on a mix of backend search technologies including Microsoft Bing to power these results, Google and other traditional search giants now face a significant new rival in the evolving AI-driven search landscape.
