Try AI-powered search with Perplexity AI ahead of SearchGPT’s release
OpenAI has just announced a prototype of SearchGPT, a set of new AI-powered search features for which you can sign up on a waitlist. It’s a notable effort from OpenAI that promises to combine the strengths of its AI models, including those behind ChatGPT, and instant access to the web.
ChatGPT has garnered a reputation for being able to answer pretty complex queries in a coherent, congenial manner and now OpenAI is looking to make it possible to be able to use this technology to comb through actual real-time information. OpenAI has said that its goal was to eventually integrate the best of these AI search tools right into ChatGPT. The first thought that comes to mind is that if SearchGPT impresses like ChatGPT has, people will expect Google to kick its AI-related efforts into a higher gear (for better or worse).
Google has already made efforts to offer novel AI-powered search products with efforts like AI Overviews, which we haven’t heard very much about recently due to their initial poor reception. Microsoft has, however, taken the baton from Google it appears, and is rolling out its own AI-generated summary sections in Bing. How to make sure you’re on the waitlist
SearchGPT is currently in closed prototype development and testing, but with its announcement, OpenAI has made it possible to sign up for a waitlist. In order to sign up for the waitlist, you’ll need to log into or sign up for a ChatGPT account. After you log in, you’ll need to go to the new dedicated SearchGPT page on the ChatGPT website and click Join waitlist, which should fade once you’ve joined and transform to say ‘You’re on the waitlist.”
If you don’t get selected in the immediate round of testing, don’t fret, as Tom’s Hardware reports that testing will begin with up to 10,000 people.
