Discover the power of GPT Search, OpenAI’s feature that integrates AI into a Google-like search experience, providing access to real-time data. Unlike traditional ChatGPT, which only utilizes data up to its last training date, GPT Search allows you to pull in live information by simply enabling the search function. This tutorial walks you through the process of using this feature effectively.
To get started, enable the search by clicking the search button on the GPT interface. This activation is crucial, as without it, the tool will function like the standard ChatGPT. Once enabled, you can use it for various queries, such as researching the best CRMs for small nonprofits and organizing the results into a table with features, prices, and websites. This capability is particularly useful for compiling data and creating structured outputs.
The tutorial also introduces Perplexity, a specialized AI-enabled search tool that complements GPT Search. While GPT Search integrates seamlessly within the chat interface for quick data pulls, Perplexity focuses on generating more in-depth results for complex queries. This distinction makes Perplexity a preferred choice for detailed research tasks. Additionally, Perplexity allows users on paid plans to switch models, opting for either Anthropx Claude or OpenAI’s GPT4, offering flexibility in data processing.
In conclusion, both GPT Search and Perplexity present valuable opportunities for not-for-profit organisations to enhance their data gathering and research processes. While neither tool is revolutionary yet, they represent the cutting edge of AI’s evolving capabilities, promising more integrated and efficient solutions in the future. Experiment with these tools to see how they can transform your approach to accessing real-time information.
