OpenAI is expected to announce an in-house search engine, integrated with ChatGPT, very soon. According to some sources, the company will do so just before Google's annual I/O conference.
The company OpenAI is known for its work on artificial intelligence: it is to them that we owe ChatGPT. What if this was just the beginning? According to several serious sourcesthe company is preparing to soon launch its own search engine, a competitor to Google.

According to these sources, the announcement could even take place this Monday, May 13, the day before the annual I/O conference held by Google, where it presents its new products and technological advances. Enough to lay the groundwork for the Alphabet giant?
ChatGPT search engine version
OpenAI declined comment to the media; the information is therefore not yet fully confirmed regarding this date. But the sources are consistent with other, older information. Already last February, The Information found that OpenAI is working on a search engine based on ChatGPT. Then we learned that a jobs war was taking place behind the scenes, OpenAI looking to recruit engineers from Google for his own project.
The search engine developed by OpenAI would be designed as a feature of ChatGPT. It would thus allow you to do searches on the web; the chatbot would thus answer Internet users' questions by directly citing its sources found on the Internet. In short, it would be a bit of a greatly improved version of the integration into Microsoft Bing.
If the project seems entirely credible, in logical continuity with the company's ambitions (also to find users), it remains to be seen whether OpenAI will really make this announcement just before Google I/O next Tuesday. The web giant itself has not said its last word on AI: a new function in its Google Chrome browser includes the possibility of asking questions to Gemini, its chatbot (which sometimes goes live).
