OpenAI has introduced an innovative update to its ChatGPT app for iPhone. The highlight? A new Search shortcut that incorporates seamlessly with Apple Shortcuts. This feature promises quicker access to web searches and a smoother ChatGPT experience.
According to a report by 9to5Mac, the update allows iPhone users to create custom shortcuts to directly access ChatGPT’s web search tool. Whether it’s sports scores, stock updates, or breaking news, this feature puts information at your fingertips.
What is ChatGPT Search?
ChatGPT Search is OpenAI’s take on modern search functionality. It combines the chatbot’s conversational prowess with the real-time efficiency of search engines.
Unlike traditional search tools, ChatGPT Search enables context-aware follow-up questions, creating a more interactive experience. Users can manually trigger the web search by selecting the icon in the app’s text field.
How Does the Shortcut Work?
The new “SearchGPT” extension allows users to:
- Open new conversations with Search enabled.
- Add shortcuts to their Home Screen.
- Access features via Siri commands.
This shortcut joins other ChatGPT features like initiating voice chats, accessing specific AI models, and generating text through advanced tools.
What’s Next? Integration with iOS
Apple’s iOS 18.2 update, expected in December, will take this collaboration further. Siri will gain the ability to offload complex user queries to ChatGPT, enhancing its functionality. Additionally, Apple’s Writing Tools will integrate ChatGPT’s advanced features, like the “Compose” tool, to assist users with content creation.
