ChatGPT Now Searches the Web Live

ChatGPT has officially stepped into the ring as an AI-powered web search engine.


Starting now, paid subscribers and SearchGPT waitlist users can enjoy real-time information right within their ChatGPT conversations. Free, enterprise, and education users will join the party soon.


This isn't just another app; web search is seamlessly integrated into ChatGPT’s existing interface. It cleverly decides when to fetch web results based on your queries, but you can also give it a nudge to search manually. This leap closes the competitive gap with rivals like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini, who’ve been flaunting their real-time internet access for a while.


During a pre-launch demo, Adam Fry, ChatGPT’s search lead, showed off the new features. Whether it’s checking Apple’s stock or hunting for Italian eateries in San Francisco, ChatGPT delivers interactive graphs, maps, and news articles with clickable citations. You can even ask follow-up questions to refine your search, like finding “more casual” dining spots.

Available on iOS, Android, and desktop, this search feature is powered by a mix of technologies, including Microsoft’s Bing. It’s built on a fine-tuned version of GPT-4o, initially tested as SearchGPT. Despite this new capability, OpenAI promises to keep refreshing its training data for the latest advancements.


While AI search services face legal challenges, OpenAI is navigating these waters with media partnerships, ensuring responsible content use. And don’t worry about pesky ads cluttering your search results—ChatGPT has no plans for advertising.


As ChatGPT’s web search goes live, especially with the US presidential election around the corner, accuracy is key. OpenAI is focusing on elevating authoritative sources to keep you informed and factually correct.


So, get ready to explore the web with ChatGPT and enjoy a clutter-free, interactive search experience!
