About This Skill
What it does
The source-search skill allows an AI agent to locate and retrieve information from online sources. It can search the web based on a given query, extract relevant text snippets, and present them in a structured format. This enables agents to answer questions or complete tasks that require up-to-date information not available locally.
When to use it
- Researching current events: An agent needs to summarize recent news articles about a specific topic.
- Finding product specifications: An agent is asked to locate the technical details of a particular electronic device.
- Gathering competitive intelligence: An agent needs to collect information on competitor pricing and offerings from their websites.
- Answering factual questions: An agent must provide an answer to a question requiring real-time data or information found online.
Key capabilities
