OpenAI is bringing its artificial intelligence search engine, SearchGPT into ChatGPT later this year, according to Varun Shetty, head of media partnerships for the company. This will give users live data and links to external websites within the platform.
SearchGPT was released in July as a temporary prototype, allowing OpenAI to test how to integrate more current search results into its flagship product. This would also allow it to compete directly with Google and search AI leader Perplexity. At the time only a handful of ChatGPT Plus users were given access but it now looks like everyone will get it.
