![Is Google’s Dominance Ending? OpenAI Introduces SearchGPT](http://media.assettype.com/sinceindependence%2F2024-07%2F618c0cae-5f6f-4a6d-af05-55760a52a618%2FSearch%20GPYT.webp?w=480&auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=max)
Known for creating the ChatGPT AI chatbot, OpenAI has introduced SearchGPT to challenge Google's long-standing dominance.
This AI-based search engine will initially be accessible to only a few users. You can join the waitlist for it. The company provided this information in a blog post.
Previously, there were several hints about the company’s search engine, but no official details were released.
The company wrote in its blog, "We are testing SearchGPT, which is a prototype of our new AI search feature. It will provide you with fast and timely answers linked to relevant sources. We are launching it to a small user group from whom we will gather feedback. This feedback will help us integrate it with ChatGPT."
The company has collaborated with several major publishers for this. SearchGPT is launching at a time when Google is integrating AI into its search engine.
Now, when you search on Google, you will receive some AI-generated responses. However, many users have expressed dissatisfaction with the integration of AI in Google's search.
OpenAI claims that their search tool will provide up-to-date information available on the internet. SearchGPT aims to distinguish itself from ChatGPT by offering a traditional search engine-like interface, complete with clickable external links.
Under the leadership of Sam Altman, OpenAI hopes that this product will directly challenge Google. This could impact Google’s business model, which heavily relies on advertising.
Google generates $175 billion annually through ads. If OpenAI’s search engine succeeds, it could pose a significant challenge to Google.
