Anthropic has announced that its AI chatbot, Claude, now supports web search functionality, a feature previously unavailable. This new capability is currently in preview for paid users in the U.S., with plans for wider accessibility. Users can enable web search in the Claude web app, allowing the chatbot to retrieve and cite information from various sources, improving its response accuracy. Despite some inconsistencies in triggering for current events, Claude aims to provide more relevant and real-time insights comparable to competitors like ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. The enhancement raises concerns about potential misinformation from web sources.
