A browser tool lets an AI system search for current information through a controlled interface, select relevant results, and read content from web pages. section 11.1
A typical browser-tool workflow includes:
- Issue a query to a search engine, such as Google. section 11.1
- Select results from multiple sources. section 11.1
- Open and read retrieved web pages to answer questions about recent events or other current topics. section 11.1
Recent-event question
For a prompt such as “Who won best song in last night’s Grammys?”, the system can use a browser-like tool to search, inspect selected pages, and provide a current answer. The search happens through a simulated or custom interface rather than necessarily through direct access to Google during the conversation. section 11.1
