The launch of iOS 18.2 marks the long-awaited integration of ChatGPT with Siri. OpenAI’s chatbot can relay to Apple’s virtual assistant when it cannot respond to a user’s request. Unfortunately, French users will have to wait for the release of Apple Intelligence in France in April 2025 to discover this function. Despite this partnership between OpenAI and Apple, the two entities remain competitors. This is why the apple brand could take a dim view l’expansion de SearchGPT.
SearchGPT is now available for free to all users
SearchGPT, added to ChatGPT at the end of October, offers enhanced AI-powered searches directly from the ChatGPT application and web interface. Thus, the user can access links to relevant web sources just like on any other search engine, such as Google Chrome.
SearchGPT was until now reserved for subscribers to ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Teams. From today it becomes available to all users. You can use it free of charge from the ChatGPT app on Mac and iPhone in France. An announcement made as part of the event “ 12 days of OpenAI “. The American company headed by Sam Altman specifies that the search has been improved in recent months, making it faster and better on mobile.
Is Google worried about the rapid development of SearchGPT? The Alphabet subsidiary probably did not expect to see a competitor of this size investing so quickly in the search engine market. We will have to carefully follow the way in which OpenAI enriches SearchGPT in the coming months in order to know if it can really work on the flowerbeds of Google Chrome and other Safaris. In any case, this should not undermine the understanding between the two American tech giants, allies to make Apple Intelligence a useful and practical tool.
