Open API response
Built for

Agents that need current, verifiable information from the web.

Produces

A concise answer with traceable sources, structured evidence, and reusable memory.

Tool chain

How the agent completes the task

  1. 1

    Discover sources

    Web search

    Run broad and semantic searches, then keep a diverse shortlist of promising sources.

    Input

    Research question, freshness window, source constraints

    Output

    Ranked URLs with snippets and relevance signals

    Fallback: Retry with a second provider and simpler keyword queries.

  2. 2

    Inspect interactive pages

    Browser automation

    Open pages that require JavaScript or interaction and capture the relevant state.

    Input

    Candidate URLs and the evidence to locate

    Output

    Rendered pages, action results, and page snapshots

    Fallback: Skip browser execution when a clean text representation is available.

  3. 3

    Extract clean evidence

    Web extraction

    Convert selected sources into structured, model-ready content with source locations intact.

    Input

    Selected source URLs or browser snapshots

    Output

    Clean text or JSON with source metadata

    Fallback: Use a reader endpoint, then fall back to targeted DOM extraction.

  4. 4

    Store reusable context

    Memory and retrieval

    Persist verified findings and retrieval metadata for follow-up questions.

    Input

    Verified findings, citations, entities, and research scope

    Output

    Searchable memories linked to their original sources

    Alternatives:ZepSupermemory

    Fallback: Return the final evidence bundle even when durable memory is unavailable.
