Excited to see this. I've really been enjoying Claude. It feels like a different, more creative flavor of experience than GPT. I use Claude a lot for dialogues and exploring ideas, like a conversational partner. Having web access will add an interesting dimension to this.

Ditto. I use Claude 3.7 to refine drafts of research papers and ask it “What have I missed?”.

Now I can prompt Claude to ping PubMed and make sure that its suggested references are verified. Each citation/claim should be accompanied by a PMID or a DOI.

I hope this works!

That's how I use it as well! It'll also occasionally hallucinate things, but much less often than other AI tools I've tried. But typically I'll just run things by it that I'm question myself about, or if I want to solidify a concept I'll ask it if my understanding is correct.

It's also fun to ask the same question to multiple AI tools and see how the answers differ. Usually Claude is the most accurate and helpful, though.
