Developer builds tool to verify Claude AI citations

A developer has created a Python script to check if Anthropic's Claude AI cites specific websites. The script leverages Claude's built-in web search tool, which provides detailed information about the search queries used, all results returned, and the specific passages cited. This allows users to differentiate between Claude failing to find a page and finding it but not citing it. The tool is designed to be more efficient and informative than manual checking. AI

IMPACT Enables content creators to verify if their work is being recognized and cited by AI models.

RANK_REASON The item describes a user-created tool that leverages an existing AI model's capabilities.
