Anthropic has introduced a new web search feature for its AI chatbot, Claude, aligning it with competitors. Evidence indicates that Brave Search, the search engine developed by Brave, powers this functionality. Recently added to Anthropic's subprocessor list, Brave Search's integration suggests a strategic partnership. Reports show that searches in both Claude and Brave yielded identical results, hinting at a shared backend. This move comes as AI companies keep their search partnerships largely undisclosed. The collaboration builds on Brave's existing relationship with Mistral's Le Chat, another AI chatbot.
