SearchGPT Prototype

OpenAI is testing a new prototype called SearchGPT, which aims to enhance AI search capabilities by providing fast and relevant answers sourced from the web. This prototype is currently available to a limited group of users and publishers for feedback, with plans to integrate successful features into ChatGPT in the future. SearchGPT is designed to streamline the search process, allowing users to receive direct answers and follow-up questions in a conversational manner. The system emphasizes clear attribution to sources, helping users engage with publisher content more effectively.

OpenAI is collaborating with publishers to ensure that high-quality content is highlighted in search results, thereby supporting a sustainable ecosystem for journalism. Publishers can manage their visibility in SearchGPT, and the prototype is distinct from the training of OpenAI's generative AI models, allowing sites to appear in search results even if they opt out of generative AI training. Feedback from both users and publishers will be used to refine the experience, with a focus on improving local information and commerce features. OpenAI is committed to fostering a symbiotic relationship between technology and content, ensuring that reliable information from trusted sources is prioritized in AI-powered search. Interested users can join a waitlist to try the prototype.
