SearchGPT: The AI Search Engine That Could DESTROY Google

This week is crazy for AI news! OpenAI will launch SearchGPT, which could replace traditional search engines like Google and even Perplexity AI.

About SearchGPT

SearchGPT, a prototype AI-powered search engine developed by OpenAI, aims to revolutionize web searches by providing summarized, organized information with real-time internet access. As reported by Tom’s Guide, this innovative tool, currently in the testing phase, promises to enhance user experience by offering more personalized and relevant results compared to traditional search engines.

SearchGPT enhances traditional search engines by leveraging advanced AI models like GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 to provide more direct and conversational responses to user queries. Unlike conventional search engines that primarily display a list of links, SearchGPT aims to deliver concise answers with clear source attributions, saving users time and effort in finding relevant information. It seems it will work similarly to Perplexity AI.

The system’s ability to understand natural language and context allows for follow-up questions, creating a more intuitive and interactive search experience. Additionally, SearchGPT’s real-time access to web information ensures up-to-date responses, which is particularly valuable for current events and rapidly changing topics.

Core Search Features of SearchGPT

SearchGPT offers several key functionalities:

• It provides conversational responses to user queries, allowing for natural follow-up questions and building context with each interaction.

• The system delivers fast, precise answers by combining AI models with real-time web information, ensuring up-to-date results.

• SearchGPT presents concise summaries with clear attributions and in-line citations, enabling users to verify information easily.

• Additionally, it features a sidebar with relevant links for further exploration and introduces ‘visual answers’ through AI-generated videos to enhance the search experience.

  
  

OpenAI has also prioritized partnerships with reputable publishers to ensure the quality and reliability of information provided.

Release Timeline

As I mentioned earlier, this tool is in the prototype phase, and no official release date has been announced.

OpenAI is testing the AI-powered search engine with a select group of approximately 10,000 users and publishers to gather feedback. The company has stated its intention to eventually integrate the best features of SearchGPT directly into ChatGPT, rather than maintaining it as a separate tool.
