OpenAI's international managing director explains how the ChatGPT developer thinks about AI and search
Briefly

OpenAI's ChatGPT has made AI accessible for consumers, effectively altering traditional search methods. Users now use LLM-powered bots for research, leading Google to incorporate AI into its search results. OpenAI has introduced 'connectors' for users, integrating data from platforms like Outlook and Microsoft Teams to aid in generating reports effortlessly. This functionality is driving OpenAI's growth. The company is expanding into Asian markets with new offices in Tokyo and Singapore, indicating a strategic move to broaden its global presence and adapt to user needs in business environments.
"It's very integrated," Oliver Jay, managing director of international at OpenAI, said. The new connectors will let users access and analyze data, generating reports from emails and meetings with one prompt.
"We didn't build search because we wanted to necessarily go after the search market. We saw users wanted agents, and agents needed to go out and find information," Oliver Jay explained on the purpose behind OpenAI's search development.
