Brave: Web Search Action

Enable your AI chatbot to search and retrieve information from your BookStack wiki in real-time.

The Brave: Web Search action enables your AI support agent to search the web for information and use the results to answer questions. This is useful as a fallback when your chatbot can’t find the answer in its trained knowledge base, or when visitors ask about current events that require up-to-date information.

How it Works

When a user asks a question that might be answered by your BookStack wiki, the chatbot will search your wiki in real-time, retrieve relevant content, and use it to formulate an accurate response.
