According to TechFlow, OpenAI has announced its entry into the search market and will launch an AI-driven search engine called SearchGPT. The engine can access Internet information in real time and is currently being tested by a small number of users.
SearchGPT will be released as a web browser prototype, providing a standalone search experience that may be integrated into ChatGPT in the future.
OpenAI said it is working with creators and publishers to get feedback and plans to integrate successful search functions into ChatGPT. Although the specific launch time has not been announced, it will be open to waiting list users in the early stage.
The move is seen as OpenAI's direct challenge to Google's search business and marks the AI company's official entry into the search engine market.
