OPENAI has just released its own AI search product, SearchGPT, which is still in the prototype stage and needs to be applied for a waiting list and then wait for review before it can be used.
AI Search is a feature that OPENAI promised to launch in April, and it didn't launch a prototype until July, a three-month delay.
Why the three-month delay in launching SearchGPT
At present, the AI application market has long appeared many more mature and huge user volume of AI search products, such as overseas Perplexica, the domestic secret tower AI, 360 AI search, mainstream AI applications are integrated with the search capabilities, it can be said that the current AI search products relative to other tool-side product solutions are relatively mature.
It can be guessed that OPENAI postponed the launch of SearchGPT for a few months must have its own thinking, different from the current AI search products, which can be seen in the initial version of the prototype product.
SearchGPT interface preview
1. Simple initial operation interface, only text input is allowed
2. Search results are similar to other AI search products, and no difference is seen up to here
3. follow up with a relevant question based on the context and see how the answers differ.
4. Let's try a brand new question again, by this point you should find out what makes him different from other AI searches, as well as outputting structured content based on a stable data source similar to traditional searches.
5. When expanding the left toolbar, you can see a list of links aggregated based on search history, which is clearly a meme form that can be searched freely.
SearchGPT Functional Analysis
- Simplicity is not simple:Provide a minimalist text input area and leave the rest of the complex content processing logic to SearchGPT.
- Content aggregation display similar to traditional search:It is speculated that stable content sources will be introduced for different industries, and the introduction may not require special docking, but rather the underlying data will be handled entirely by the AI, and certain content introductions may involve licensing.
- Integration to ChatGPT:ChatGPT itself contains AI search capabilities, so SearchGPT is likely to be inherited to ChatGPT as the branching functionality equivalent to GPTs.
- Memo to collect knowledge at any time:As you can see from the left sidebar, the answers and content provenance from the user's search are aggregated into the sidebar.
SearchGPT Reflections
- Does SearchGPT's current product form remind you of Google Gemini?It looks like aggregated information, but their content processing logic may be completely different, with Google placing more emphasis on using stable content providers to aggregate content. And SearchGPT more emphasis on the integration and analysis of content, as well as aggregation management.
- SearchGPT modestly explains that it is currently a "prototype stage" product, through the entrance given can be seen that this should be an important product under the ChatGPT system, and AI search is indeed one of the important direction of the application, there is no doubt about it. This point can also be guessed from his Web site catalog - https://chatgpt.com/search
- Officially, SearchGPT will use more "accurate" content provided by content publishers and content co-creators, combined with large modeling capabilities, to give more accurate answers, which is undoubtedly going to invade the traditional search engine market.
- You can imagine the product form that ChatGPT is trying to create: GPT model as a thinking brain - through the GPTs to master a myriad of tools how to use - then master a more stable way of external knowledge acquisition --Next, short-term and long-term memories are strengthened to form more and more mature experiences - Finally, the above experiences are used to plan and execute specific tasks rationally.
Many people will think that SearchGPT has been slow to launch and has missed the first echelon of AI search, but thinking about ChatGPT as a whole, it may be more important to get a more complete solution than AI search.
