Anthropic launches Claude web search API, betting on the future of post-Google information access
Anthropic launches web search API for Claude as Apple considers AI search alternatives to Google, signaling a major shift in how users discover information online.
The company announced today that developers can now enable Claude to access current web information through its API, allowing the AI assistant to conduct multiple progressive searches to compile comprehensive answers complete with source citations. Unlike traditional search engines that display a list of links requiring users to sift through results, AI assistants synthesize information from multiple sources, delivering concise, contextual answers. With Safari accounting for 17.25% of global browser usage and 22.32% on mobile devices according to the most current data from StatCounter, any move to replace Google with AI search alternatives would dramatically alter market dynamics.
