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.

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.

For Twitter/X content, the agent has structured research tools that are generally more direct than generic web search:

CapabilityWhat it does
Search postsSearches recent posts or the full archive and hydrates author and media details.
Post contextFetches a post by ID or URL along with replies, quotes, and root context.
Count postsCounts matching posts over time without fetching every post.
TrendsRetrieves current trends for a location.
News storiesLoads 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.
