OpenAI reportedly announcing Google Search competitor on Monday
In This Article
OpenAI to announce Google Search competitor this coming Monday.
Viaa reportfrom Reuters, OpenAI plans to launch an AI-powered search platform this Monday, May 13th, to compete directly with Google Search.
Though this particular date is subject to change, according to the report,it has been previously reportedthat OpenAI is working on an AI-powered search platform intended to go toe-to-toe with big names in the space. This includes not just giants like Google but others such as Perplexity, too.
OpenAIposted on May 10ththat the company would be streaming on Monday to “demo some ChatGPT and GPT-4 updates.” Though, CEO Sam Altman went on to clarify inan X post of his own: “not gpt-5, not a search engine, but we’ve been hard at work on some new stuff we think people will love! feels like magic to me.”
Whether or not an AI-powered search platform is announced at this upcoming event, it certainly seems timed to happen before Google’s I/O conference begins on Tuesday, May 14th, where the company is expected to reveal new AI products.
With Reuters’ sources “familiar with the matter” and sources tellingTheVerge“that [OpenAI] is aggressively trying to poach Google employees to work on its own search offering”, it certainly seems like OpenAI is working on search.
At the time of writing, it’s unclear whether CEO Sam Altman’s words suggest that an OpenAI search platform will be coming, just not on Monday, or if perhaps something related to search, just not a full-scale Google Search competitor, will be announced on Monday. Naturally, we’re not likely to learn more until then.
Either way, Monday is just a few days away, so you won’t have to wait long to find out what OpenAI has to announce. Tune in to theOpenAI siteat 10am PT / 1pm EST / 6pm BST to find out more, or check back here for our reporting.
