Markin Makes History

Released just over a year ago, ChatGPT quickly gained popularity, amassing over 100 million users within its first year.

As users from diverse backgrounds explored ChatGPT’s capabilities, it became a go-to source for information and conversation, securing its place at the pinnacle of Wikipedia’s rankings.

ChatGPT to Welcome New Evolution

In September 2023, OpenAI re-introduced a real-time web browsing feature to ChatGPT, enhancing its appeal to both individual and enterprise users. Initially launched in May but temporarily disabled due to concerns over online paywalls, the feature has returned with improved measures to respect website permissions.

Powered by Microsoft’s Bing search engine, the browsing capability transforms ChatGPT from a static data analyzer to a dynamic, real-time information generator. This feature proves particularly valuable for users seeking up-to-date information on topics like market trends, product reviews, or travel planning.

Additionally, ChatGPT now offer Subscribers the ability to create bespoke GPT models, streamlining the user experience for power users and enterprises. This feature eliminates the need for users to manually input extensive prompts, automating the process and enhancing the overall interaction with AI.
