ChatGPT Search, FAQ

Does ChatGPT Search use Google or Bing?

Bing, OpenAI's public statements confirm Microsoft Bing is the search-backend partner. Optimising for Bing (which we do via IndexNow) is the most leveraged thing you can do for ChatGPT Search visibility.

What's the difference between GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot?

GPTBot is OpenAI's training crawler (used to build model weights for future GPT versions). OAI-SearchBot is the live-search crawler that powers ChatGPT Search results in real time. BotWave allows both.
