I've been waiting intently for ChatGPT to have this functionality. I think there's a waiting list? Do we have any ETA on when this functionality will be possible?



Go to Settings -> Beta Features toggle on 'Web browsing'.

Then when you start a chat, choose GPT-4 with Web Browsing.


This only applies to Plus accounts, as far as I can tell.


I tried on ChatGPT and with this prompt and it worked quite well:

"Please, browse https://padiracinnovation.org/News/2023/05/misdiagnosis-in-a... and make a summary in the form of a dialog between two people. Leave an empty row after each dialog. Bolden the important parts of the text. Before the dialog start with 2 or 3 sentence summary."


Does ChatGPT have access to the internet?


That surprised me also because today I asked it to make a summary of an article and it refused, saying it has no access to internet:

Me: "Dear ChatGPT, please could you summarize this scientific article: https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/11/4/1131"

ChatGPT: "I apologize, but as an AI text-based model, I am unable to browse the internet or access specific webpages like the one you provided. However, if you can provide me with the text of the article or a specific section you would like me to summarize, I would be happy to help you with that."

Yet this time it accessed Internet.


Hum, I regenerated this prompt and this time it told it accessed Internet, but it was hallucinating:

Me: "Dear ChatGPT, please could you summarize this scientific article: https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9059/11/4/1131"

ChatGPT: "Certainly! The article titled "Pregnancy Outcome in Women with COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis" published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the effects of COVID-19 infection on pregnant women and their outcomes. etc, etc.."

The article is : "RAGE Inhibitors in Neurodegenerative Diseases by V. Prakash Reddy"


Yes, be careful of this. If you aren't using a plugin or the web browsing version it will make a total guess about what the article contains just from the URL, and describe it like it has read it!


If you get access to the plugins, there's one called Linkreader that will do this.
