=== Assistant: Yes — I can search the web when it’s useful. ===
Yes — I can search the web when it’s useful.

Here’s how it works in practice:
* 🔍 I can look things up live to get current, accurate info (news, prices, policies, availability, recent events, etc.).
* 📅 This helps especially with post–June 2025 topics or anything time-sensitive.
* 🧠 For stable or well-established knowledge, I usually don’t need to search unless you want sources or verification.

A couple of boundaries to be clear about:
* I don’t browse continuously or automatically — I search only when it adds value.
* I’ll usually tell you when I’m checking the web and cite what I found.
* I can’t access paywalled content or private accounts.

If you want to be explicit, you can say things like:
* “Can you look this up?”
* “Please verify this with current sources.”
* “Assume this is recent — check the web.”

And if you’d prefer I not search and just reason it out, you can say that too.
