Profy Expert can search the internet in real time during conversations — when your question involves the latest information, real-time data, or topics beyond Expert’s own knowledge, it will proactively search the web for answers.

How It Works

Automatic Triggering

Expert automatically determines whether a search is needed based on your question. It will proactively search when the query involves time-sensitive information, specific data, or topics Expert is uncertain about.

Source Citations

Search results include source links so you can trace where the information came from and verify its accuracy.

Smart Summaries

Expert doesn’t just copy search results — it reads and understands the web page content, then provides a refined answer tailored to your question.

Web Scraping

Beyond searching, Expert can also visit a specific URL directly and scrape and analyze the page content.

How to Use

In most cases, you don’t need to do anything special — just ask your question normally. Expert will automatically determine when a search is needed.
  • “What’s the USD exchange rate today?”
  • “What are the latest major breakthroughs in AI?”
  • “What are the new features in Next.js 15?”
  • “How’s Company X’s latest earnings report?”
You can also explicitly ask Expert to search:
  • “Search for the latest TanStack Start documentation”
  • “Look up a solution for this error message: [error content]”
  • “Find some competitive analysis of similar products online”

Targeted Web Scraping

If you already know which web page has the information, you can provide the URL directly:
  • “Read this article for me: [URL], and summarize the key points”
  • “Visit this page and extract all pricing information”

How Search Results Are Processed

Expert’s workflow for handling search results:
1

Multi-Source Search

Expert sends a query to search engines and retrieves multiple relevant results.
2

Content Filtering

It filters the most relevant content from the search results, discarding low-quality or irrelevant pages. Each result’s content is appropriately truncated to ensure processing efficiency.
3

Comprehensive Analysis

Expert reads and understands the filtered content, cross-referencing information from multiple sources.
4

Integrated Response

It combines the analysis with Expert’s own knowledge to generate a complete, accurate answer with cited sources.

Use Cases

Verify whether a claim is accurate or whether data is up to date. Expert will search multiple sources for cross-validation.
Look up the latest documentation, API changes, and best practices for libraries and frameworks — especially useful in fast-moving technical domains.
Understand market trends, competitive dynamics, and industry reports. Expert can synthesize analysis from multiple information sources.
When you encounter error messages or unexpected behavior, have Expert search community discussions and solutions.
Stay up to date with the latest industry news, policy changes, and event developments.
Web search is enabled by default. If you don’t want Expert to use web search during conversations, you can turn it off in the chat settings.When disabled, Expert will rely entirely on its training knowledge to answer questions and will not access the external internet.

Tips

  • Specify time frames: When searching for technical documentation, include version numbers or dates (e.g., “2026”), to get more precise results
  • Clarify search intent: Tell Expert what type of information you need (official documentation, community discussions, academic papers), and it will choose a more suitable search strategy
  • Ask about sources: If you have doubts about a piece of information, ask Expert for the original link so you can verify it
Web search retrieves publicly available information. The accuracy of search results depends on the quality of the information sources. Expert does its best to verify, but cannot guarantee that all information is 100% accurate. For critical decisions, we recommend verifying the original sources yourself.

Billing

Web search itself consumes a small amount of credits (search service call fee). Analysis and summarization of search results follow the conversation model’s token-based billing. Actual costs are displayed in real time within the product.
