According to two sources familiar with the matter, OpenAI is reportedly gearing up to unveil its AI-powered search tool next Monday. This move is expected to intensify the competition with Google, the current leader in the industry. Although the exact date of the announcement could change, it has not been revealed publicly before.
Reports from Bloomberg and the Information have previously hinted at OpenAI’s collaboration with Microsoft on a search tool. This collaboration could potentially position OpenAI as a competitor to Google and Perplexity, another AI search startup that has received significant funding.
The timing of the anticipated announcement coincides with the start of Google’s annual I/O conference, scheduled for Tuesday. During this event, Google is anticipated to introduce several new AI-related products.
OpenAI’s upcoming search tool is said to be an extension of its flagship ChatGPT product. This tool will enable the AI model to retrieve information directly from the web, including citations.
