Chat with Internet Sources

The Next Step in Information Processing

Instead of relying on public datasets and general knowledge, "Chat with Internet Sources" generates current information by first performing an internet search. This search is based on the prompt and looks for 5 relevant internet sources. These internet sources are then added to the prompt, and only then is the answer requested from the language model.

Search Types​

The system offers three different ways to retrieve information:

  1. Search: General web searches for textual information and web pages
  2. Videos: Searching for videos and multimedia content
  3. News: Specifically searching for news articles and current reporting

Based on the prompt, the most suitable search type is automatically selected to obtain the best results.

Image Search

A separate tool is available for searching images. See the Tools section for more information about the "Image Search" functionality.

Serper Integration​

The searches are performed via Serper, a professional search engine provider that selects the 5 most relevant results. These results are then integrated into the prompt before the AI model generates the final answer.

Advantages and Challenges​

Advantages​

  • Access to current information not present in the training model
  • Ability to provide source references
  • Increased accuracy through the use of factual and recent data
  • Flexibility through different search types
  • Reduced chance of hallucinations by the AI model

Challenges​

  • Potential delay due to additional processing time
  • Quality of answers dependent on available sources
  • Costs associated with API usage

Privacy​
