OpenAI has announced the release of ChatGPT’s latest feature: real-time web search, available now for Plus and Team subscribers, with a broader rollout to follow for free, enterprise, and educational users in the coming weeks.
This launch moves ChatGPT even closer towards a full-fledged AI-powered search engine — without the clutter of ads. The AI model will offer direct answers, including visuals and curated web sources in an upgrade that promises faster and more accurate information retrieval than similar search tools such as Google’s Gemini and Microsoft’s Bing-integrated Copilot.
With this new functionality, ChatGPT can search the internet to deliver live, contextual answers to users in a more personalized way.
