The creators of ChatGPT are poised to release a new search product to rival Google, according to reports.
The new feature, expected to be confirmed by Microsoft-backed OpenAI on Monday, will allow users to search the web via the popular chatbot.
The details of how this will function have not been revealed, but it is likely that the AI will search the web for users and generate results based on what it finds.
For example, this could let users ask ChatGPT a question and receive much more detailed answers that cite web sources like Wikipedia or online blogs.
If true, it could present the biggest challenge yet to Google's search engine supremacy.

According to insiders quoted by Bloomberg and The Information, it may be the biggest change to the ChatGPT tool so far.
Currently, with the paid version of ChatGPT, users can access real-time information – but this is only due an integration with Microsoft's search engine Bing.
It's expected that with the new feature, ChatGPT will be able to source and return up-to-date search results more independently of Bing – potentially for all users, not just paid.
ChatGPT is a large language model which lets users enter text questions and receive replies on almost any possible topic.
Since its launch in November 2022, the San Francisco-based company has rapidly risen to be one of the biggest names in AI.
However, ChatGPT's responses are currently limited for most users by a lack of access to live internet data.
ChatGPT can refer users to online search results for some queries – such as the current weather – but this service is limited to paying customers.
The 'Browse with Bing' service, introduced in 2023, lets the AI search through live web results to return more up to date information.
It is not yet clear how the new search feature will differ from this current capability, nor is it known whether the search feature will be for paid users only.
However, it's expected that this update give the AI the power to search the live web and allow it to display pictures in its results.
The release will reportedly come on the eve of Google's I/O event at which the search giant is expected to reveal details of its own new AI features
