Search
Understand how the agent researches the live web, searches X, and browses interactive sites in Chrome.
The Endstack agent can find current information through live web search, structured X/Twitter tools, and direct browser interaction. The best option depends on whether the work needs broad research, social context, or an interactive website.
Web search
It can:
- Run multiple search queries in parallel to discover relevant pages.
- Fetch the content of a specific URL that you or the agent already knows.
- Prefer fresh results for live or rapidly changing information such as scores, breaking news, prices, or weather.
- Prefer cached results when speed matters more than freshness.
- Bias results toward categories such as news, research papers, or companies.
- Include or exclude specific domains.
Web search is useful when the agent needs current information, citations, or the content of a page without opening a full browser session.
X (Twitter) search
For Twitter/X content, the agent has structured research tools that are generally more direct than generic web search:
| Capability | What it does |
|---|---|
| Search posts | Searches recent posts or the full archive and hydrates author and media details. |
| Post context | Fetches a post by ID or URL along with replies, quotes, and root context. |
| Count posts | Counts matching posts over time without fetching every post. |
| Trends | Retrieves current trends for a location. |
| News stories | Loads an X news story and its related cluster of posts. |
Browse websites in Chrome
The agent can also open Chrome on your desktop and interact with any website. Browser tools can:
- Open tabs and navigate to URLs.
- Read page content and run page JavaScript.
- Click, type, scroll, select, and hover on page elements.
Chrome is useful when a site is not well covered by Exa or X tools, or when the work depends on dashboards, logged-in apps, or other interactive interfaces. Browser access uses the Chrome tool group described under Tools and the built-in Chrome app covered under Native apps.
Which approach the agent uses
| Need | Typical approach |
|---|---|
| Broad documentation or current-events research | Web search |
| X posts, replies, trends, or social context | Structured X tools |
| Interactive or authenticated pages | Chrome Browser tools |
