OpenAI announces SearchGPT, its AI-powered search engine​

OpenAI is announcing its much-anticipated entry into the search market, SearchGPT, an AI-powered search engine with real-time access to information across the internet.

The search engine starts with a large textbox that asks the user “What are you looking for?” But rather than returning a plain list of links, SearchGPT tries to organize and make sense of them. In one example from OpenAI, the search engine summarizes its findings on music festivals and then presents short descriptions of the events followed by an attribution link.

In another example, it explains when to plant tomatoes before breaking down different varieties of the plant. After the results appear, you can ask follow-up questions or click the sidebar to open other relevant links.

There’s also a feature called “visual answers,” but OpenAI didn’t get back to The Verge before publication on exactly how this works.

Open AI launches search engine - Google stock falls

Shortly after the announcement, the stock of Google's owner company Alphabet fell.

Let the battle commence! Gemini sucks crab buckets.

This is very similar to Perplexity which is already available.

I would like to see how they improve the usual "service" near me when you are in a hurry.

Just saw this minutes ago!

Considering how widely in-use ChatGPT has become, this search engine may dominate seriously.

I hope it'll favour us publishers.

Google tremble now will have to improve their services if they want to stay on top but really doubt they could improve in short time if they have to.

 

[cgt2012]

Can’t wait to see what’s ahead because as another pointed out Gemini is crap.

 

[DustyBawls]

I wonder how it will go with SEO.

More difficult, I'd imagine.

 

[SeoIsArt]

Any way how to block their bots from acessing and stealing info from your sites? I guess if such bot blocker exist we could launch a campaign to stop them them XD

Google RIP! Is the end of an era!

Nobody mentioned some important thoughts:
- returns only one answer: means you need to be top 1
- i didn't see any ads: maybe it's conscious but who knows
- based on the demo I would say 85% of internet traffic will simply disappear, only bots will visit your site

 

[Gants-P]

Sounds like Microsoft bing, Microsoft doesn't seem openai as a threat.

 

[Halo_Onyx]

I think if Search generally pivots into this direction then SEO will get very different very fast. I think local results will start getting more important, as will building a community around your writing and introducing a paywall to your best content.

If it has serious competition it will surely improve! No longer mama Google holding all the cards stacked in its favour!
