This plugin functionality helps overcome the limitations of specific AI models that may not have up-to-date knowledge, as it enables them to retrieve the most current information from the internet.

Real-Time Web Access

With the Web Search plugin, your assistant can access the latest information available online, regardless of the model’s built-in knowledge base. This is especially valuable when using models that lack inherent web search capabilities, such as Claude. Even if these models do not natively support web access, ChatLabs makes it possible for them to retrieve real-time data by leveraging this plugin.

Use with Image Generation Models

One of the great advantages of this plugin is its compatibility with any image generation model, such as FLUX.1 Pro, Stable Diffusion 3, or DALL-E 3. You can use the web search plugin to gather up-to-date data from the internet and then immediately request an AI-generated image based on that data. For example, you could search for recent news events and then create an illustration or visual representation of the topic, all within the same request.

How to Enable Web Search

  1. Navigate to Plugins Menu: To enable the Web Search plugin, go to the Plugins section, which is accessible from the top-right corner of the ChatLabs interface (represented by a puzzle icon).

  2. Activate the Web Search Plugin: From the list of available plugins, find the Web Browsing toggle and turn it on. This enables web access for the assistant you are currently using.

  3. Use in Your Chat: Once enabled, the plugin will work in the background whenever the assistant requires internet access. You can now issue queries that involve both real-time web searches and image generation in the same session.

By enabling the Web Search plugin, you gain a very useful tool for enhancing both text-based and image-based outputs with live data. This is why web search plugin is an essential feature for up-to-date and visually creative responses.

Web Search

The Web Search plugin is a powerful tool in ChatLabs that allows you to access real-time data from the web, including Google search results.

Claude and other models that do not have internet access out of the box, now are able to browse the web as well.
