Online Mode

Alice Online Mode connects the assistant to web search. This feature is natively supported by all providers, such as OpenAI and Anthropic, and its quality varies depending on the model you use. When Online Mode is enabled, the agent decides when to search the web based on the ongoing conversation or your direct queries.

New Large Language Models are connected to the internet via special tools. When asked for information requiring web search, they:

  1. Decide whether to use the search for a given query or not

  2. Convert your message to a query optimized for web search

  3. Decide which pages' content to load during the search

  4. Appending the website's contents to the System Prompt

This capability is enabled for all models that have 🌐 icon on the model list.

Once you use this kind of model, you can enable Web Search ⌘o and ask for any current information or a website. Model determines that it should use web data and will show you the appropriate notification, and then return relevant information.

When your API key is set, you can activate Online Mode by pressing Command + O (or Control + O on Windows). Then, the globe icon will highlight, and your assistant will use the web search tool whenever you ask about websites or recent info. 

Here, I have an answer related to the hardware mentioned on brain.overment.com. Besides the answer, there's also a list of references used to generate it.
