As AI-powered chatbots and search engines continue to reach more users, OpenAI’s popular AI model, ChatGPT, has made an important change to improve the user experience. Now, there is no longer a requirement to log in to use ChatGPT’s search engine! Here are the details…
OpenAI Makes Access Even Easier
OpenAI officially announced in its latest update that ChatGPT’s search engine can now be used without logging in. With this new feature, ChatGPT will use information from the web to provide answers and also share a list of the sources it references. The login requirement has been permanently removed.

The search engine, which was initially made available only to ChatGPT Plus subscribers in October 2023, was later expanded to all users in December. However, until then, an OpenAI account was required to use the service. Now, users can access ChatGPT search without creating an account.
With this development, OpenAI’s search engine seems to be directly competing with traditional search engines like Google and Bing. Users will be able to access ChatGPT’s answers and view the sources directly without needing to log in.
The update brings ChatGPT’s search engine closer to a more traditional search engine experience. It now includes a results page with images and descriptions of local businesses and hotels. It can also pull information directly from platforms like TripAdvisor, providing hotel reviews and ratings.
This change raises the question of whether ChatGPT can compete with giant search engines like Google and Bing. OpenAI stated that it will continue to improve the search engine to further enhance the user experience.
