OpenAI, creators of ChatGPT, is working on a new browser to compete against Google, according to reports

The developer of tools powered by Artificial intelligence (AI) generative OpenAI is considering building a new web browser that will have the support of its ‘chatbot’, with which it seeks to compete with Google Chrome and its Gemini model.

A month ago, the company launched web search in ChatGPT, SearchGPT, a functionality that it began working on at the beginning of this year also with the aim of offering an alternative to the engine provided by Google, as The Information reported at the time.

The differential characteristic of this engine is that it allows you to consult the sources of information from the searches through the ‘Sources’ button, which is placed below the answers given by your ‘chatbot’.

This medium has now indicated that OpenAI also considered developing its own browser, in which ChatGPT will be natively integrated and with which it seeks to offer an alternative to Google services Chrome and Gemini.

At the moment, no more information has been provided about this service, although OpenAI believes that developing a web browser would boost the use of its ‘chatbot’, according to people related to the firm who have contacted The information.

Likewise, the company would have established contact with different partners to enhance search functions on travel, food and retail websites. Among the companies to which it has offered this collaboration are Priceline, Condé Nast, Redfin and Evenbrite.

This article also indicates that OpenAI has begun negotiating with Samsung, which is a business partner of Google, to reach an agreement similar to the one it has with Apple and enhance AI functions in devices from the South Korean manufacturer.
