New York: OpenAI has unveiled a new version of ChatGPT that integrates real-time web search capabilities, positioning it as a formidable competitor to traditional search engines like Google.
This latest innovation, dubbed “ChatGPT with Search,” allows users to obtain up-to-date information directly within their chat interface.

Users can either let ChatGPT automatically search the web based on their queries or manually initiate a search by clicking a web search icon34. This enhancement aims to streamline the process of finding information, reducing the need for multiple searches and extensive link exploration.
OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, highlighted the potential of this feature to revolutionize how people access information. “By integrating search with conversational AI, we’re making it easier for users to get accurate, real-time answers without the hassle of traditional search engines,” Altman said.
The launch of ChatGPT with Search also includes partnerships with major news and data providers, ensuring that the information provided is both current and reliable. This move not only enhances the user experience but also offers new opportunities for content publishers to reach a broader audience.
