JAKARTA Anthropic launched a web-based search capability to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform Claude. This feature is still limited to the ChatGPT Search released by OpenAI last December.

The web search feature in Claude is an alternative to Google Search, a search engine that has been widely used to date. Users can rely on AI to search for any context in real-time, but with a more natural style of language.

When a user asks for any prompt, be it simple or complex, Claude's response will include a web as a source. Users can click on a linked source and search for answers in depth by opening each web.

This will make it easier for users who are looking for material from various sources. With the support of web search, users will not receive misleading answers because web sources make Claude's response more accurate and up-to-date.

"Instead of searching for yourself, Claude processes and provides relevant sources in the format of the conversation. This increase expands Claude's vast knowledge base with real-time insight," Anthropic explained.

According to the AI company, the web search capability in Claude is suitable for sales teams that always analyze industrial trends. This feature can also be used by researchers who want to identify or analyze something.

In fact, ordinary users can take advantage of this feature before buying something. Web searches will help them in, 'comparing features, prices, and product reviews across sources to make more appropriate purchase decisions'.

For now, the web search feature can only be accessed by users in the US in beta. This feature is optional so that Claude users can enable or disable the feature whenever they want.
