FULL STORY
======================================================================OpenAI 
recently updated ChatGPT so it can search the internet This feature has now 
been added to Apples Shortcuts app It unlocks new superpowers for your iPhone 
automations 

At the WWDC 2024 conference in June, Apple told us it would be integrating 
ChatGPT into its own Apple Intelligence system to bring powerful artificial 
intelligence (AI) to Apple devices. What you might not know is that ChatGPTs 
brand-new search feature is also working its way into one of Apples best 
apps, bringing even more capable automation to the iPhone and iPad. 

As spotted by MacRumors , Apples Shortcuts app includes a new Open SearchGPT 
option nestled among its other ChatGPT commands. This means you can use 
ChatGPTs search capabilities to find relevant information online with just a 
few taps. 

OpenAI enabled ChatGPT to search the web in late October , saying that this 
addition worked in a much better way than the chatbots previous lookup 
abilities. It can include links to relevant web searches, add useful context 
to your results, and it works with follow-up questions to supplement your 
results with more information. 

 Apples Shortcuts app , meanwhile, lets you create multi-step automations 
that can carry out a wide range of tasks for you, which can potentially save 
you a lot of time and effort if the actions are tedious to perform manually. 

Shortcuts can also be activated automatically at specified times of day or 
when you arrive at certain locations. Combine that with ChatGPTs new ability 
to search the internet and you could create some very potent workflows  and 
change the way you search on your iPhone entirely. Coming to free users soon

Right now, youll need a paid-for ChatGPT Plus or ChatGPT Teams subscription 
in order to use SearchGPT. 

That wont be the case forever, though, as OpenAI says it plans to extend the 
feature to free users over the coming months. Note that youll also need to 
have downloaded the latest version of the ChatGPT app on your iPhone or iPad 
in order to get the SearchGPT function in Shortcuts. 

You might be wondering where Siri figures in all this, since Apple announced 
at WWDC that Siri would be able to tap into ChatGPT if needed. Well, the iOS 
18.2 beta lets Siri hand off to ChatGPT in certain situations  for instance, 
if you start your Siri request with the phrase Ask ChatGPT, youll go straight 
through to OpenAIs chatbot. 

However, iOS 18.2 isnt expected to launch to the general public until early 
December. If you dont want to wait that long to get ChatGPT built into your 
iOS experience, SearchGPTs Shortcuts integration might be your best bet. You
