Search just got a serious upgrade, and OpenAI’s ChatGPT is at the forefront.
With its new web integration, ChatGPT is an AI assistant and a full-fledged search engine with real-time results, clickable citations, and even interactive maps.
Its turbocharged.
And while Google might still be sitting on a $49 billion search revenue pile, OpenAI is here to try disrupt the entire game.
OpenAI didn’t just throw any old search feature into ChatGPT.
They brought in partnerships with news giants like AP, Reuters, and Axel Springer, ensuring users get access to credible, high-quality information straight from the sources.
This move sidesteps the legal minefield companies like Perplexity are facing, as news publishers fight back against unlicensed content scraping.
It’s a brilliant move, securing reliability while sidestepping lawsuits.
But this goes beyond search.
With ChatGPT’s ability to retrieve real-time data, OpenAI has finally filled the “live data” gap that AI tools have struggled with.
