Firecrawl: Search Action

Enable your AI chatbot to search the web using Firecrawl and optionally scrape full page content from search results.

The Firecrawl: Search action enables your AI support agent to search the web using Firecrawl and optionally scrape full page content from search results. This allows your chatbot to look up the latest and most relevant information for visitor queries.

How it Works

When a visitor asks a question that your chatbot can’t answer from its training data, it will use Firecrawl to search the web, retrieve relevant results, and optionally scrape the full content of those pages to provide a comprehensive answer.
