Enter SearchGPT, and OpenAI’s efforts to integrate artificial intelligence tools into more people’s lives got a boost Thursday.
The company behind ChatGPT announced on its website that it is opening registrations for testing an early version of its AI-powered search engine, SearchGPT. OpenAI stressed that this is a prototype and that the “best features” from the testing period will eventually be integrated directly into ChatGPT.
How to try SearchGPT
Users who want to try out SearchGPT can sign up now, but the feature is not yet available to test.

SearchGPT works similarly to ChatGPT: you enter a query, and the AI searches the internet and returns a variety of useful results in a visually clean and appealing way. Users can allegedly respond to the results in a conversational format to get more specific results.

As always with OpenAI, there are concerns about accuracy and sources even before the product is released. For example, CNBC’s Kif Leswing pointed out on X (formerly Twitter) that some of the example search results shown in the announcement article were inaccurate, misleading, or unhelpful. OpenAI also promises that the results will have “clear links to relevant sources,” but that’s impossible to tell until the product is released.
OpenAI still has a long way to go before it can be called a Google competitor, but this could be a promising first step.
