Analysis

The announcement, made on a recent Thursday, not only positions OpenAI against Google but also pits it against Microsoft’s Bing and the emerging AI chatbot firm Perplexity , which is backed by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Nvidia. Following the announcement, shares of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, fell by 3%. OpenAI has opened sign-ups for SearchGPT, which is currently in its prototype stage and being tested with a select group of users and publishers. The company plans to integrate the standout features of SearchGPT into its ChatGPT service in the future. “AI-powered search tools from OpenAI and Perplexity re-affirm search as a content engagement model but pressure Google to be better at its own game,” Canaccord Genuity analyst Kingsley Crane said.
