If you are a user of GWI (GlobelWebIndex), you may have access to the integration with Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), which allows you to generate real-time insights in Claude.
The Five Most-Key Takeaways from This Blog Post
- The appeal here is that it can go beyond just basic web search across the open internet and instead pull from research culled and processed by GWI. GWI conducts global surveys to get data, which is part of its selling point.
- If you don’t know what GWI is, it provides consumer-intelligence data along with insights. This can be useful for business owners and marketers and advertisers needing deeper insights that stem from research.
- Integrating this platform with Claude brings convenience, as it suddenly makes updated audience insights readily available in the context of chatbot conversations.
- GWI is planning integrations with other A.I. tools, ChatGPT among these.
- So, do you need to pay for this integration? The fact that the Pro tier of GWI is the only tier listed on its website with “Dig deeper with smart research & analysis tools” should tip one off that this is something you need to pony up to access. Anthropic is more explicit, saying that users need at least a Pro plan to connect to a remote MCP.
The Significance for Business Owners
GWI gives a sense of the results of such an integration with this page about GWI and A.I..
It shows how the same prompts get more-detailed output with the GWI integration. (However, depicting the GWI-aided output in color and the non-GWI output in black-and-white is a bit cheaty, it should be said.)
As A.I. systems become more foundational to businesses’ daily grind, it makes sense that there will be a greater push to connect A.I. tools to other platforms that matter for meeting the bottom line.
In other words, integrating integral data sources is a growing phenomenon in the business world. The overall goal is to avoid the homogenization of A.I. outputs, where if you are using the “basic” A.I. tool then you will get outputs that most other business owners would likely get, with maybe some differences made here and there for the sake of personalization.
But it comes with a catch, of course—for workplaces, you will likely need paid subscriptions to your A.I. tool of choice. And for the integrations, you will likely need a paid subscription to make use of a connector feature.
What that translates to is that if you want these benefits, you will likely need to pay up.
What’s the Net Benefit of This?
It depends on what exactly your goals are for the integration. For instance, how much of your content output, both customer- or client-facing as well as internal communications, comes from A.I. tools like Claude or ChatGPT?
You can already personalize outputs through prompt engineering and giving on-hand data to the A.I., both in creating things like Custom GPTs or just in the prompts with the standard-issue A.I. model.
The value of an integration, then, should be whether it offers you more than just paid-for convenience.
In the case of GWI, the value is in getting access to its research into digital consumers, updated in real time so that you do not need to worry about whether your chats with Claude of ChatGPT will be outdated.
What this allows for is something like a deeper personalization of the responses from the A.I., as it can draw from data directly relevant to your business and reflect that in the outputs, which could be multimodal.
The Last (But Not Least) Key Takeaway from This Blog Post
Business owners who already have paid subscriptions to GWI and Claude should be looking into this integration, as it could allow for deeper customization of Claude’s responses.
And GWI’s plan is to offer integrations with more than just Claude, so if you are interested in this, reach out to GWI.
