OpenAI’s ChatGPT has undergone significant transformations since its initial release, expanding its functionality to encompass not just answering questions but also capabilities such as searching, creating images, and producing videos. While full access to some features is reserved for paid subscribers, many functions remain available in a limited capacity for free users. Recently, OpenAI has unveiled several new features aimed at enhancing the ChatGPT experience for everyone.
The latest update introduces four key enhancements: an improved shopping experience, the ability to search in WhatsApp, enhanced citation capabilities, and features like trending topics and autocomplete during searches. Importantly, these advancements are set to be available to all users, although the rollout may take a few days to reach everyone. One of the standout improvements is the enhanced shopping feature, which allows users to find, compare, and purchase products more efficiently.
This is made possible by a trio of advancements, including refined product search results that offer visual details, comprehensive pricing, and user reviews, along with direct purchase links. Notably, these buy links are not affiliate links, meaning OpenAI does not earn a commission on products purchased through them. This feature aims to be user-friendly, even for those not logged into an account.
Additionally, ChatGPT’s latest update enhances information verification by providing multiple citations for its responses. Users can now identify the sources that support specific statements through an intuitive “highlight UI.” Furthermore, the newly introduced WhatsApp feature allows users to send messages to ChatGPT for real-time answers and updates, expanding accessibility and convenience.
These developments occur against a backdrop of speculation surrounding OpenAI’s interest in acquiring Chrome, which could lead to further integration between ChatGPT and Chrome functionalities in the future. As these changes unfold, users can anticipate a more seamless and enriched experience.
