Anthropic has introduced a web search feature for its AI-powered chatbot platform, Claude, aligning it with competitors that offer real-time internet access.
While the search index powering the feature was initially unclear, evidence suggests that it is driven by Brave Search, the search engine maintained by browser developer Brave.
Software engineer Antonio Zugaldia first spotted the connection on Friday, noting that Anthropic had added “Brave Search” to its “subprocessor list” in its documentation. This list details Anthropic’s partners involved in processing Claude’s data.
