What is SearchGPT?

SearchGPT is designed to address the common frustrations users face with traditional search engines, where finding relevant results often requires multiple attempts. By leveraging conversational AI, SearchGPT aims to provide a more intuitive search experience. It delivers direct answers to user queries, incorporates up-to-date web information, and includes clear links to relevant sources for further exploration.

One of the standout features of SearchGPT is its ability to handle follow-up questions in a conversational manner, maintaining context across multiple interactions. This approach is designed to make the search process more efficient and user-friendly.

“While this prototype is temporary, we plan to integrate the best of these features directly into ChatGPT in the future,” OpenAI said.
