ChatGPT for Google

The pitch behind ChatGPT for Google was simple and genuinely useful: you keep your normal search engine and the extension drops an AI answer above or beside the organic links, so you never have to open a second tab. On paper that meant a side-by-side view of ChatGPT and Claude answers for the same query, YouTube summarization inline in the results page, text summarization of the SERP itself, mind map generation for a research topic, and a toolbar that handled PDF-to-Word conversion, PNG export, and background removal. For a knowledge worker doing twenty searches an hour, that is a real time saving, and the dual-model comparison was the differentiating feature — most AI-search tools give you one model's answer with no easy way to sanity-check it against a second.\n\nThat is the product that existed. As of August 20, 2026 it does not. The vendor's sunset notice is now the only content on aichat4search.com: the homepage, pricing page, changelog, release notes, and docs all render the same paragraph confirming the service was discontinued, that all personal data has been permanently deleted under the data retention policy, and that the data export window is closed so exports can no longer be provided. That last detail matters more than it reads — if you used the extension to summarize research or convert documents, those artifacts are gone and the vendor has stated it cannot produce them.\n\nWhere it fit: light research and quick document triage, for people who wanted an AI second opinion without changing their default search habit. Where it does not fit now: anywhere. There is no install, no tier, no support channel, no roadmap, and no update path. The honest guidance for anyone who lands on this page is to pick a live replacement — Perplexity if you want cited answers integrated with search, Microsoft Copilot if you are already in Edge and Bing, or a general assistant with a browser extension if your main need was document conversion and summarization.
