Run natural-language or keyword queries against a large independent web index with filters for domain, date and category.
Return cleaned page text and AI-extracted highlights so agents receive the most relevant excerpts instead of entire pages.
Choose fast, balanced or deep search modes so an assistant can answer instantly or run longer grounded research.
Extract structured outputs such as company details, people and other entities for list building and data pipelines.
