OpenAI just announced a brand new search engine, SearchGPT, that could be poised to take on Google and AI rival Perplexity. SearchGPT is an AI-powered search engine with real-time access to internet-based information.

Currently a prototype, SearchGPT starts as a large textbox that asks, "What are you looking for?" Unlike Google's Search, OpenAI's engine doesn't just return pages of links. Instead, the tool attempts to organize the information and provide summaries.
