OpenAI has unveiled SearchGPT, an AI-powered search engine that accesses real-time information from the web. It aims to provide more organized and meaningful search results by summarizing and contextualizing information for users. The service is initially available to around 10,000 test users, with plans to integrate it into ChatGPT later. SearchGPT’s launch positions OpenAI as a potential competitor to Google in the search market.

As a prototype, SearchGPT aims to enhance the search experience by collaborating with news partners to ensure accurate attribution and content management. The service allows users to ask follow-up questions or explore related links, while providing short descriptions and relevant attribution links for the information displayed. OpenAI’s development has garnered significant user interest despite AI training and inference costs projected to reach $7 billion this year.

OpenAI’s entry into the search market challenges competitors like Google and Perplexity, emphasizing accurate content summarization practices through partnerships with major publishers. SearchGPT’s interface is designed to be user-friendly, prompting users with “What are you looking for?” and delivering results through summaries, descriptions, and attributed links. Future monetization strategies for SearchGPT remain unclear, with the service currently offered for free during its initial launch period.
