SEARCH GPT, Have you joined?
OpenAI just announced SearchGPT, an AI-powered search engine prototype that combines powerful AI models with information from the Internet to provide users with timely answers from relevant sources — directly challenging Google’s search dominance.
The details:
- SearchGPT organizes search results into summaries with attribution links and allows for follow-up questions, similar to AI startup Perplexity.
- The prototype is powered by GPT-4 and will be initially available to 10,000 test users.
- While still a prototype, the company eventually plans to integrate SearchGPT features directly into ChatGPT.
- To get access to SearchGPT, you need to log into your ChatGPT account, then you can request to join the waitlist here.
Why it matters: OpenAI’s entry into search could disrupt the industry — potentially reshaping how users interact with online information and challenging Google Search’s long-standing dominance. The move also raises questions about data privacy, the future of traditional SEO, and the impact on content creators.

“AI search is going to become one of the key ways that people navigate the internet, and it’s crucial, in these early days, that the technology is built in a way that values, respects, and protects journalism and publishers. We look forward to partnering with OpenAI in the process, and creating a new way for readers to discover The Atlantic.”
Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic
