OpenAI launches ChatGPT search, competing with Google and Perplexity


OpenAI on Thursday launched ChatGPT search, positioning the company to better compete with search engines like Google, Microsoft's Bing and Perplexity.

Since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, Alphabet investors have been concerned that OpenAI could take market share from Google in search by giving consumers new ways to seek information online. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote Thursday in a post on X that search is his "favorite feature we have launched" in ChatGPT since the chatbot's original debut. In July, OpenAI announced it was beta-testing a prototype of the search engine, called SearchGPT, and now it's officially rolled the product into ChatGPT.
