Web Search
Today we are excited to launch web search for our file browser agent! We believe that the future file browser isn’t just a place to put files, but a place to actually get work done. In that regard, we think the agent should not just read files, but also find and download files for you, too! Our web search mode closes the loop on this kind of behavior by allowing the agent to automatically make web searches, read results, and identify files or links within its results to download, summarize, or cite. Here’s a look!
Try doing things like asking the agent to find a particular research paper for you, or to find examples of a type of image, or to find relevant youtube videos. When searching the web, the agent will show you its references and give you full transparency on its actions. All in our simple and accessible agent sidebar, or our full-page chat experience.
Improvements
- We now support indexing .m4a files, which previously did not index correctly, or required that the file be under a certain size. All broken .m4a files will automatically reindex when you browse to them.
Bug Fixes
- Downloading files concurrently or cancelling a download used to cause a deadlock in some specific instances. That is now fixed.
- Pressing shift+enter from within an agent chat input now works correctly
- When shipping updates to the application (which we hope to do nearly daily!), previously we encountered an issue with tabs that had the previous version of the code not interacting well with tabs running the newest code. We now handle this situation gracefully, allowing for seamless usage of the app across new deployments.
