OpenAI Takes on Google and Perplexity with New "Search GPT" Feature on ChatGPT

OpenAI yet again changed the user interface of ChatGPT to look almost similar to Google Search and Perplexity AI. The prompt field has moved up and now sits in the center of the screen.

Have you noticed OpenAI’s latest redesign of ChatGPT?

If you’ve logged in recently, you might have spotted two major changes.

• First, there’s the new Canvas feature that automatically opens a new interface on the right side. This addition lets you work on longer documents without having to scroll up and down through the chat. It’s a small but handy update.

• Second, the prompt field has moved up and now sits in the center of the screen.

Take a look at the latest user interface below:
