SearchGPT is a search engine developed by OpenAI and launched on July 26, 2024. It combines traditional search engine features with generative pretrained transformers (GPT) to generate responses, including citations to external websites.[1][2] This search feature positions the OpenAI as a direct competitor to major search engines, notably Google, Perplexity AI and Bing, the latter being a product of OpenAI’s largest investor, Microsoft.[3] SearchGPT was first introduced as a prototype in a limited release to 10,000 test users. OpenAI ultimately intends to incorporate the search features into ChatGPT.[4]

OpenAI announced its partnership with publishers for SearchGPT, providing them with options on how their content appears in the search results and ensuring the promotion of trusted sources.[5]

On October 31, 2024, OpenAI launched SearchGPT to ChatGPT Plus and Team subscribers, and will be available to free users in early 2025.[6][7]
