Searching the internet with Pickaxe

We’ve gotten a number of questions about our awesome native web search capabilities, so I thought I’d give a little explanation. Simply check the web browsing box in the builder, and search will be enabled!

Now your bot should be able to browse the internet! In your prompt, you can give it all kinds of instructions about how or when to do this. Give it a try!

I’m a new user and wrote a prompt calling for the AI to list several clickable web links as resources for the rest of the output. The links it produced were not real. So I rewrote that to tell it to “list several actual and clickable web links that you find by browsing the web.” That produced real links.

If I tell the bot to go to a url it should go to it then?

This is a fantastic anecdote of how to use web-browsing to improve results. You’re right on the money to suggest that giving the AI chatbot extra instructions will improve its behavior!

Just an update that we’ve moved things around a bit. Now you can turn on web browsing by turning on the google search action in the act tab.

Moving things around a bit but it create one little big problem for ■■■■■■■ LTD users. Because when searching the web feature is turned to be an “ACTION”, ■■■■■■■ LTD users will face a big problem because we can use only 1 or 2 Action per Pickaxe. Am I understand the sitation correctly?

Yes! We had previously been offering web search with no limitations, but as it costs us money to provide, we decided to move it.
