The AI conversational agent has been revolutionizing the technology sector since its launch. But, OpenAI, the company that owns the technology, is still improving that groundbreaking tool. 

Californian AI firm OpenAI announced on Wednesday, September 27 that its flagship product ChatGPT, an AI-powered conversational agent, can now browse the Internet and provide real-time information. This functionality is available thanks to Browse with Bing, the result of its collaboration with Microsoft.

"ChatGPT can now browse the internet to provide you with current and authoritative information, complete with direct links to sources. It is no longer limited to data before September 2021. Since the original launch of browsing in May, we received useful feedback.[...] Browsing is available to Plus and Enterprise users today, and we’ll expand to all users soon. To enable, choose Browse with Bing in the selector under GPT-4," explains OpenAI on social media..

Thanks to a number of strategic partnerships, OpenAI is strengthening its market position with this development. While announcing several features for ChatGPT, OpenAI also announced on Monday, September 25 that its conversational agent can see, hear, and speak.

"We’re rolling out voice and images in ChatGPT to Plus and Enterprise users over the next two weeks. Voice is coming on iOS and Android (opt-in in your settings) and images will be available on all platforms," OpenAi wrote on its website.
