Image Input URL

Point Claude at an image URL and search the web for more context.

Pass an image by URL with Image(url=...). Agno downloads the image and sends it to Claude as base64.

Code

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.media import Image
from agno.models.anthropic import Claude
from agno.tools.websearch import WebSearchTools

agent = Agent(
    model=Claude(id="claude-sonnet-4-6"),
    tools=[WebSearchTools()],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response(
    "Tell me about this image and search the web for more information.",
    images=[
        Image(
            url="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0c/GoldenGateBridge-001.jpg"
        ),
