As many have been speculating they would for months, OpenAI announced the release of SearchGPT, which many expect to compete with long-standing giants like Google and Bing by offering a new way to retrieve the information you need.
What is SearchGPT?
SearchGPT is a new search engine released by OpenAI, the same company behind ChatGPT and many other artificial intelligence tools. OpenAI designed SearchGPT to provide more than a list of links. Instead, it will summarize and organize results with a clear list of sources. It will also ask follow-up questions to help ensure you are getting the information you need faster.
Key Features of SearchGPT
- Summarized search results instead of a long list of links will make it easier and faster to see if you are getting the right information.
- Each summary will have a link to the source, ensuring transparency and reliability.
- Intuitive interface that asks questions to help you get the answers you need.
- OpenAI has partnered with major content providers like News Corp and The Atlantic to ensure high-quality and credible information is available through SearchGPT.
We’re testing SearchGPT, a temporary prototype of new AI search features that give you fast and timely answers with clear and relevant sources.

Early Access and Future Integration
Much like they did with ChatGPT, the initial release of SearchGPT is only open to a small group of 10,000 users. This allows them to get feedback on how it works before a major deployment and fine-tune and work out any kinks. The rest of us will have to wait a short time yet before we can give it a try.
Implications for Users and the Industry
The launch of SearchGPT signals a potential shift in how users will navigate the internet. By using AI to provide search results, SearchGPT aims to make online searches faster and more efficient.

OpenAI has set up a waitlist that you can join to help minimize the wait before you can try SearchGPT.
How Does SearchGPT Ensure the Credibility of Its Search Results?
SearchGPT will list its sources with the summaries it provides to ensure publishers retain control over their content.
Will SearchGPT Be Integrated with Other OpenAI Tools?
Yes, OpenAI plans to integrate the best features of SearchGPT into ChatGPT, making it a more comprehensive tool for online searches and retrieving information.
