Enable Web Search Functionality for Magic AI, Agents & Chat with Magic

Abraham Bouzaglou
Summary:
Request to add a web search capability to Threads Magic AI and its agent, similar to the web search feature available in the GPT-4.1 API. This enhancement will allow the AI to access up-to-date information from the internet, resulting in more accurate, relevant, and grounded responses for users.
Background:
Many modern AI models, including GPT-4.1, now offer built-in tools for web search. This allows them to supplement their responses with real-time data, improving both the quality and reliability of their assistance.
Motivation
•Stay Current: Users increasingly expect AI assistants to be aware of the latest news, facts, and developments.
•Better Assistance: Access to web search enables the AI to provide more accurate answers, especially for time-sensitive or rapidly changing topics.
•Competitive Edge: Aligns Threads Magic AI with leading AI platforms that already provide this functionality.
Proposed Solution
•Integrate a secure, privacy-conscious web search API into Threads Magic AI and its agent.
•Allow users to opt-in or enable/disable this feature as needed per module. (for example per intent or for reminders ,master intent,
only chat with magic)
•Clearly indicate when information is sourced from the web (I think the API already does this)
