May 9, 2024, 10:10 PM

OpenAI is set to announce a new AI-powered search engine on Monday, May 13, which is expected to compete directly with Google's search capabilities. The new product, an extension of its flagship ChatGPT, will incorporate features that allow it to search the web and provide results with citations, potentially including images to enhance responses. This development is part of a broader effort by OpenAI to carve out a space in the search engine market, challenging existing giants like Google and the AI startup Perplexity. Additionally, OpenAI has been actively trying to recruit employees from Google to bolster its team for this project. The company also plans to incorporate ads into the search engine as a new revenue stream.
