SearchGPT is the latest AI search tool that has been announced by OpenAI. SearchGPT runs on GPT-4 AI models and is expected to be launched as a prototype for a given amount of time before its best features are incorporated into ChatGPT. Here are some of the key features to expect from SearchGPT.
- SearchGPT will have real-time access to the internet, which will ensure that users have access to the most current information available. This puts the search engine above other AI models that do not have the feature.
- SearchGPT is set to have a conversational interface that will allow users to interact with the tool more naturally and intuitively. Users will be able to ask follow-up questions and have context built up in the conversation. The search engine is expected to summarize and organize information for users.
- The results provided by SearchGPT will have in-line attributions and links that will guide you to information sources, while allowing users to check out these links for more information. To improve this experience, OpenAI is collaborating with various publishers to enable them to manage how they appear in SearchGPT results.
What impact is SearchGPT likely to have on the search market?
It will be interesting to see how the current players react to OpenAI’s newest creation. While Google dominates the search market, SearchGPT is bound to make waves and attract some traffic when it is eventually rolled out. Similar products such as Perplexity are also likely to come up with a response to this competitive search engine.
Different Approach
SearchGPT is seeking to gain an edge by partnering with publishers such as News Corp and The Atlantic and actively involving them in the layout of search results. This is particularly significant as a direct competitor, Perplexity, is currently facing legal proceedings brought forth by publishers. SearchGPT’s collaboration with publishers therefore makes for an interesting game-changer.
How to access SearchGPT.
While it will be initially rolled out as a prototype, SearchGPT will only be made available to thousands of people for its trial period. There is currently no information on how long this test period is expected to last. To be able to sign up for the trial, you need to have a ChatGPT account. You can join the waitlist from here.
