OpenAI has been arduously working on evolving its technology by bringing major upgrades to its models and developing new platforms offering even more advanced capabilities.
The company has been rapidly expanding and exploring new domains to establish itself. Now, reports are coming in that claim that OpenAI is developing its own browser to take on Google and shake its dominance in the industry by combining it with its chatbot. It is also said that the company has already gotten deals with tech giants for power-packed search features.
While OpenAI has already marked its entry in the search market with the roll-out of SearchGPT, it plans to take things further by developing its own web browser integrated with its chatbot.
The Information disclosed that the company is in talks with website and app developers, including Eventbrite, Redfin, Priceline, and Conde Nast, for its search products and even shared product prototypes. The company is working aggressively to ensure it not only refines but expands on its offerings.
Under Sam Altman’s leadership, OpenAI is now pivoting in a new direction by establishing itself in the search engine industry as Google’s competition.
Google is synonymous with search markets due to its dominance in the industry, which seems to be the target of regulatory authorities as DOJ plans to make Google sell off Chrome to shake its hold on the market. If this decision goes through and OpenAI redefines search engines through its cutting-edge AI technology, it could potentially bring major changes in the industry.
Conversely, Google intensified its efforts to stay competitive with OpenAI and other companies that are rapidly introducing AI products by bringing forth its generative AI chatbot, Gemini, last year. The move highlights the increasing competition in the tech industry, especially when it comes to using AI to revolutionize platforms.
The report further suggests that OpenAI is partnering up with Samsung to integrate its AI features with Samsung-made devices, which could further challenge Google’s position, given that the South Korean tech giant is a key business partner of the company. It could even strain the dynamics between the two, for Google has deeply integrated its offering into Samsung devices. If OpenAI goes ahead with this partnership, it could further strengthen the company’s position and extend its capabilities to a wider user base. Given that Apple is already on board using OpenAI’s technology to power Apple Intelligence features, this move could be a pivotal step in extending its technology further.
