FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI find pages that don't exist?

    No. The AI can only find real, existing web pages indexed by the search engine.

  • 02

    Can the AI edit the web pages it finds?

    No. The AI only reads and highlights content. It has no ability to change or delete anything on the web.

  • 03

    Does it work with any URL?

    It works with any publicly accessible URL. It cannot access pages that require a login or are behind a paywall.

    How does it decide what is 'similar'?

    It uses semantic similarity, which means it looks for pages that share the same meaning and context rather than just matching keywords.
