EITHERpenAI has just made SearchGPT available to all its users . This is the AI-based search engine presented in July 2024 and launched at the end of October of the same year with which the company hopes to claim a piece of the worst distributed and most monopolized pie in the digital market: that of online searches.

What is SearchGPT and how does it work?

Changing the web search experience
