Real-time web search for current information, news, and research. Available across your entire AI team with optional domain restrictions.

January 20264 min read

Your AI team can search the web in real-time to find current information, news, and research. Unlike static knowledge bases, web search provides up-to-the-minute data so your team always has access to the latest developments.

Why Web Search Matters

AI models have knowledge cutoffs—they only know what existed when they were trained. Web search bridges this gap, giving your team access to today's news, current events, recent research, and the latest trends in your industry.

What Your Team Can Find

Web search enables your AI team to access real-time information across the web, including:

Current News & Events

Breaking news, industry updates, company announcements, and trending topics happening right now.

Market Research

Current market data, competitor activity, industry trends, and emerging opportunities.

Content Inspiration

Trending topics, popular articles, recent publications, and content gaps to fill.

People & Companies

Recent news about guests, partners, competitors, and industry leaders.

How Your Team Uses Web Search

Each specialist on your AI team leverages web search within their domain of expertise:

Sage - Strategic Research

Sage uses web search for market research, competitive intelligence, industry trend analysis, and gathering data to inform strategic recommendations. When you ask Sage to analyze your market position, web search provides current competitor information and industry developments.

Maya - Marketing Insights

Maya uses web search to track marketing trends, find campaign inspiration, research audience interests, and monitor brand mentions. When planning a campaign, Maya can search for successful examples and current best practices.

Clara - Content Research

Clara uses web search to research topics, find supporting data for content, identify trending subjects, and ensure accuracy. When writing about current events or industry developments, Clara can verify facts and include recent information.

Domain-Restricted Search

For business AI, you can configure web search to focus only on your specific domain. This is powerful for businesses that want their AI to be experts on their own content.

When to Use Domain Restriction

Domain-restricted search is ideal for customer-facing AI agents, support bots, or any AI that should only reference your official content. Instead of searching the entire web, your AI will only search and reference content from your website.

  • Customer Support: AI only references your official documentation, FAQs, and knowledge base.
  • Sales Enablement: AI uses your product pages, case studies, and marketing content.
  • Brand Consistency: AI never accidentally references competitor information or outdated third-party content.
  • Controlled Information: You decide exactly what sources your AI can access and share.

Privacy & Access Control

Web search has special access control rules to protect your privacy and manage how others interact with your AI.

How Access Works

  • For You (Owner): Web search is always available when you chat with your own AI. This cannot be disabled—your AI always has full capabilities when you use it directly.
  • For Others (via @mentions): When others interact with your AI through @mentions, you control whether they can use web search. You can disable it in your superpower settings to limit what capabilities others have access to.

Why This Design?

You always have full access to your own AI's capabilities. The settings only affect what others can do when they interact with your AI. This lets you control costs, privacy, and the scope of what your AI shares publicly.

Common Use Cases

Here's how different creators and professionals use web search with their AI team:

For Podcasters

Research guest backgrounds, find trending topics, gather episode research, and stay current on industry news for timely content.

Discover trending topics, research content ideas, find inspiration, and ensure your content addresses what your audience cares about right now.

For Businesses
