launches ChatGPT search with promise of improving the way you search

It was only a matter of time before OpenAI competed directly with the search engine Google and Perplexity. The company, led by Sam Altman, has begun deploying ChatGPT searchan ambitious product that seeks to position itself as a trusted alternative to traditional search. Its advantage? Offer quick and updated answers accompanied by relevant links.

As the name suggests, ChatGPT Search is a feature that is part of ChatGPT. When submitting a request, the chatbot will decide whether to search for information online. However, users will have the option to perform this type of search manually. All we have to do is click the “Search the Internet” button, which will appear in the new ChatGPT interface.

This is what the ChatGPT “search engine” offers us

OpenAI says it wants to make it easier for us to find information. They explain that getting useful answers using traditional search services often requires a lot of effort. “It often takes several searches and reference searches to find quality sources and the information you need,” the artificial intelligence (AI) company said in a release.

ChatGPT search promises to change that. The idea is that we ask the question as naturally as possible, even in existing conversations. Thus, a search-enabled chatbot will use its technology to understand the context and search for an answer online. ChatGPT Search offers everything from breaking news to weather, sports and images.

We will find a generative answer accompanied by links supporting the information. If we click on the “Sources” button, a panel will open on the right side of the screen with more detailed information about the links. It should be noted that we continue to interact with AI models, so OpenAI continues to warn that “ChatGPT can make mistakesand invites us to check important information.

If you are interested in the availability of ChatGPT search, we must say that its implementation has already begun in Spain. It will be available today for users of the paid ChatGPT Plus and Team plans. Those using ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu will have access in the coming weeks. There’s also a promise that it will be available to free users “in the coming months.”
