Web Research

Use web research tools to search, scrape, crawl, and extract information from the web

Web Research Tools help Playbooks gather current source material from search results, pages, websites, and Reddit threads. Use them when the Playbook needs external evidence before drafting, refreshing, comparing, or summarizing content.

Tools

Search Google and retrieve structured search results.

Use Google Search when a Playbook needs a search results snapshot. It can return links only, title and snippet summaries, organic results as JSON, or the raw search response.

Parallel Web Systems

Use Parallel Search, Parallel Extract, and Parallel Task capabilities to run web research, extract structured data from URLs, and process research inputs into structured outputs.

Use Parallel Web Systems when the Playbook needs structured research instead of only raw search results. It can search, extract fields from URLs, or process inputs into a schema you define.

Firecrawl

Crawl and scrape web pages. Use it when the Playbook needs page content, site maps, links, screenshots, or structured crawl output.

Use Firecrawl when a Playbook needs to map a site, scrape a page, crawl multiple pages, or return page assets such as links and screenshots.

Reddit Scrape

Scrape Reddit posts and comments. For access details, Talk to Sales.

Use Reddit Scrape when a Playbook needs community language, objections, feature requests, or nested comment context from a specific Reddit thread.
