Web search
Let bots search the web and read pages, and choose who answers their searches.
Bots can search the web and read web pages. One switch per workspace turns both on or off, and one search provider answers every bot's searches.
Admins manage it in Settings → Web search.
Turn it on or off
Bots can use the web is the switch. New workspaces start with it on, using Exa's free tier, so search works before anyone opens settings. Turn it off and no bot in the workspace can search or read web pages.
Choose a provider
Open Show advanced to pick who answers searches.
| Provider | Notes |
|---|---|
| Exa | The default. A key is optional. Without one it uses the free tier, which is rate limited |
| Brave Search | Independent index. Needs a key |
| Tavily | Made for AI agents. Needs a key |
| SearXNG | Runs on your own server. Give it the server's address |
A provider that needs a key keeps the switch off until you add one.
Test search runs one search with your settings, so you can check it works.
