OpenAI launched a new search feature in ChatGPT, enabling competition with search engines like Google and Bing. Now, users can access real-time news, sports results, stock quotes, and weather forecasts thanks to web search and partnerships with data providers.
The ChatGPT Search feature, which was beta-tested over the summer, is available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers and waitlisted members, and will soon be available in the free version. OpenAI noted that the new feature allows for "searching in a more natural and intuitive way," making information search simpler and more convenient.
