Web search

Le Chat's built-in knowledge comes from data collected up to a certain date (its knowledge cutoff), so it may not know about very recent events.

Web search bridges that gap by letting Le Chat browse the internet in real time, so you get up-to-date answers backed by verifiable sources.

1. Click the + icon or type / in the chat window.
2. Select Tools then enable Web search.

When you ask a question that needs current information, Le Chat searches the web and weaves the findings into its response. Ask your question naturally.

When Le Chat uses web search to answer your question, you'll notice:

• A globe icon next to the response, confirming that web data was used.
• Inline links pointing back to the original sources.
• A Sources button at the bottom of the response that opens a panel listing every reference in one place.

Every web-sourced response comes with its references so you can check the underlying material yourself.

For news queries, Le Chat draws from professional news partners Agence France-Presse (AFP) and Associated Press (AP), so results come from verified, editorially vetted sources you can cite with confidence.

When news results are included, you'll see a news icon alongside the globe icon. Sources link directly to the original agency reporting, giving you reliable material for briefings or internal updates.

Besides Web search, Le Chat offers several ways to get information. Pick the one that fits your situation:

• Deep Research: automated multi-source research with structured, cited reports.
• Open URL: analyze a specific web page by pasting its URL.
• Code Interpreter: run Python on data you've gathered from the web.
