OpenAI testing AI search product to take fight to Google; Alphabet falls

Invesitng.com -- OpenAI said Thursday that it is launching a test version of a search product as the AI software maker looks to take the fight to Alphabet's Google. 

The 'SearchGPT' product will include new search features, combining AI models with information from the web to provide users "with clear and relevant sources," the company said in a blog post Thursday.

The AI search product will be launched to a small group of users and publishers to get feedback. 

"While this prototype is temporary, we plan to integrate the best of these features directly into ChatGPT in the future," it added.

Alphabet Inc Class A (NASDAQ:GOOGL), the leader in search, was down more than 2% following the news.
