01 November, Pakyong : OpenAI has introduced a new search chatbot feature within ChatGPT, marking a significant enhancement in how the platform interacts with the web. This updated feature allows ChatGPT to deliver fast, relevant answers to user questions by accessing up-to-the-minute web information, including real-time updates on sports scores, stock prices, news, and more. The feature aims to combine the ease of a natural language interface with the reliability of up-to-date information, streamlining the process for users who would otherwise need to consult search engines directly.
With this new capability, ChatGPT can initiate web searches based on user prompts or allow users to manually activate the search by clicking the designated web search icon. Search functionality is accessible through the ChatGPT website, mobile apps, and desktop applications. Currently, all ChatGPT Plus and Team users, along with those on the SearchGPT waitlist, have immediate access to this feature. OpenAI plans to extend this service to Enterprise and Edu account holders in the coming weeks, with a gradual rollout to Free-tier users in the months ahead.
Enhanced Access to Relevant, Real-Time Answers
Designed to enhance the efficiency of online searches, this upgrade in ChatGPT helps users navigate the web with ease. Typically, finding relevant information involves multiple searches and careful source selection. ChatGPT’s new feature simplifies this process by enabling users to ask questions in a conversational format, with the AI leveraging web searches to provide richer, contextually aware answers. Users can also dive deeper with follow-up questions, with ChatGPT considering the context of the entire conversation to refine its responses further.
In partnership with leading news and data providers, OpenAI has incorporated the latest information and introduced new visual layouts for data categories, including weather, sports, financial markets, news, and maps. This integration offers users a more interactive and up-to-date experience in finding quality information efficiently.
