ChatGPT will get a separate entry point for SearchGPT on top of the main sidebar 👀

SearchGPT early preview 👀👀👀

The search homepage will have a simple search bar which you can activate with a keyboard shortcut.

Search URLs will support query params so users will be able to share search links as well.

Disclaimer: It is not available yet

The answer page will primarily show a text answer by default

Users will be able to check a related media tab as well

As well as the Sources tab with reference links

In settings, it will be possible to change the theme and toggle location access. Model training can be enabled or disabled here as well.

As confirmed by Sam, this implementation is an early prototype and eventually might be integrated into the core product.

Anthropic is working on a Sync Folder feature for Claude Projects 👀
There you can select a local folder to get your files uploaded in a batch.

A "Harmonize" button allows you to sync Claude Project files with your local copy

🚨 BREAKING: Anthropic is working on the "Source Citations" feature.

It seems it is meant to collect relevant citations from the Project knowledge base, which might be very useful for researchers.

It is yet unclear if it can be a sign of a "web search" functionality 👀

This feature will likely be released as a "Feature Preview" and seems to be still in the development stage 🚧
