# AI-Powered Search Tools DuckDuckGo Introduces the ChatGPT-Powered Search Tool, DuckAssist By Kanesa D | Published 2023-03-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duckduckgo-2 References: [gizmochina](https://www.gizmochina.com/2023/03/09/duckduckgo-chatgpt-powered-duckassist/) & [duckduckgo](https://duckduckgo.com/?va=b&t=hc)  The new feature DuckAssist was made available by [DuckDuckGo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/email-protection). It leverages ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool, to provide users with prompt and accurate responses to their search queries. Users don't have to speak to DuckAssist because it isn't a chatbot. Instead, when it detects a question it can answer, it displays a pre-written response to consumers. Currently in beta, the [ChatGPT-powered utility](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lmchatgpttfy) is accessible via the DuckDuckGo app and browser extension. The information is taken from sources like [Wikipedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wikipedia-article-ai) and displayed in a manner resembling typical search results. This AI-powered search feature will benefit queries with clear, factual answers, such as "What is a search engine index?" and other similar questions. DuckDuckGo’s browser offers one-click data cleaning, automated pop-up blocking, and the option to block any online element that collects user data.
