Read our privacy policy ChatGPT’s AI-powered search engine is being rolled out to free users of the chatbot for the first time, maker OpenAI has confirmed. In the latest round of announcements as part of a Christmas countdown, the AI giant said it was making its search tool available to all free users of the app, on every platform where ChatGPT is available, as long as a user has an account and is logged in. OpenAI first launched the ability to search the web inside ChatGPT in October, to paying subscribers, saying it would offer a more natural, conversational way to get answers than using a search engine, as users will be able to quickly ask follow-up questions to get more information. Elsewhere in its announcement, OpenAI said its search tool was getting better and faster on mobile devices, with the feature looking and acting much more like a traditional search engine.
