We've redesigned the experience to bring you real-time information from across the web, with cited sources, directly within your Alter workflows. Our newest addition, **Gemini 2.0 Flash Web**, makes searching the internet faster and more powerful than ever before! It is now our search model per default when using `cmd+enter` and is part of our “Best” model pipeline. **What This Means For Your Productivity:** ✅ **Real-Time Information:** Get the latest data from across the web without ever leaving Alter ✅ **Contextual Awareness:** Alter understands what you're looking at and combines it with web search results ✅ **Cited Sources:** Every answer includes links to original sources—easily verify information or dive deeper ✅ **Advanced Search Capabilities:** Filter by specific websites, time periods, or content types (like YouTube videos) ## Try It Out! Here are five powerful prompts to get you started with web search in Alter: 1. **Sports Updates:** "When is the next game of Arsenal?" - Get the latest fixture information with official sources. 2. **Context-Aware Research:** While on a player's profile page, simply ask "How many games with his national team has this player?" - Alter combines your current window context with web search. 3. **Filtered News:** "Explain Trump tariffs using only French news sources" - Limit results to specific publications or regions. 4. **Recent Content:** "Show me YouTube videos about Mickey 17 published in the last 24 hours" - Filter by recency and content type. 5. **Academic Research:** "Give me the latest research on ODA control systems published last week from PDF sources only" - Perfect for finding scholarly articles and papers.
