Overview

Web Search Sigma can access the internet for questions that require up to date information or for niche information that the LLM may not be certain about. Users can toggle the Web Search Action on the fly to override the LLM’s decision. If Internal Search was used during the research process, Sigma will seamlessly combine web sources with internal documents in both the answer generation and for displaying in the UI.

​
Web Scraper

As the Search Providers only give short snippets and metadata, a scraper is used to fetch the full site contents for more complete/reliable answers.
