Show HN: Chrome plugin that gives Claude access to search / recent data Howdy, just wanted to share something I built to improve my experience using Claude chat (web). It'a Chrome plugin that embeds into the Claude chat UI, and that takes the prompt and does an internet search for up-to-date information that Claude doesn't have. The search results are returned into the Claude chat prompt window which allows you use it as context. Behind the scenes the plugin does three things: - Passes the Claude prompt to OpenAI GPT-4o-mini to determine the search terms to use, - Uses Jina.ai Reader API to search and retrieve the top 5 search results (text), - Processing the search results with OpenAI GPT-4o-mini to return only the data relevant to the prompt (to avoid context bloat in Claude) The idea came about because I use Artifacts a lot to do data visualizations, but got frustrated that Claude doesn't have access to recent data natively (yet). I published the plugin to the Chrome plugin store and the code to GitHub: - Chrome store: https://bit.ly/3SXzets... - GitHub: https://bit.ly/3WUpH7F The GitHub repo has screen recording showing what it looks like / how it works. The plugin is free but requires an OpenAI API key, but GPT-4o-mini costs fractions of a cent per use based on my experience using it so far. Hope someone else finds it useful!
