    Hi there Schifter, Gabriela

    Thanks for using QandA platform

    I guess currently, Azure OpenAI's Responses API does not include the Web_Search_Preview functionality for AI agents. Microsoft has not officially announced if or when this feature will be available in future releases. However, they continuously enhance Azure OpenAI capabilities, so it’s best to stay updated through official Azure documentation and announcements. right now we dont have a exact date but we can exacty it sooner.

    If this helps kindly accept the answer thnak much.
