ChatGPT taking internet by storm, as the artificial intelligence is being used in many different services. Recently, it was integrated into Bing and other Microsoft services, which brought great success to the company and caused a rise in the search engine’s popularity. Now, DuckDuckGo, another search engine, is following suit by releasing its own ChatGPT-powered search tool, DuckAssist. Here are the details…

DuckAssist: DuckDuckGo’s New ChatGPT Based AI Search Feature

DuckDuckGo has released a new tool called DuckAssist. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology called ChatGPT to give users quick and accurate answers to their search queries. The answers are gathered from websites like Wikipedia and presented in a way that looks similar to regular search results.

First of all, we must warn that DuckAssist isn’t a chatbot, so users don’t need to talk to it. Instead, it shows users an automatic answer when it recognizes a question it can answer. This feature will be especially useful for straightforward questions like “What is a search engine index?” and others that have simple, factual answers. The ChatGPT-powered tool is currently in beta and is free to use on the DuckDuckGo app and browser extension.

DuckDuckGo is committed to keeping users’ data private, and DuckAssist is no exception. It won’t collect any personal information or require users to log in. The company also plans to keep users’ search and browsing history anonymous when sharing data with its partners, OpenAI and Anthropic, who helped develop the ChatGPT technology.

If DuckAssist proves to be popular, DuckDuckGo plans to roll it out to everyone using the search tool on its website. Users can also provide feedback on the AI-generated answers anonymously, which will help the company improve the tool.
