Data outcomes

What you get from your agent

The specific types of information your AI retrieves.

ENTITY

Person and place profiles

The AI pulls facts from the Knowledge Graph. You get specific details about notable people or landmarks.

LOCAL

Business listings

Your agent finds local businesses, including addresses and contact info. This works for finding shops or services in a specific city.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI book a reservation at a restaurant it finds?

    No. The AI can find the business and its contact info, but it cannot interact with booking systems.

  • 02

    Will the AI update a business's information on Bing?

    No. The tools are read-only. The AI can only retrieve existing data, not change it.

    Does it work for small, local businesses?

    Yes, as long as they have a presence in local search listings.

  • 04

    Can I use this to find private contact information?

    No. The AI only accesses data that is publicly available in the Knowledge Graph or search results.

  • 05

    Can the AI delete search history?
