FAQ

How the research task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI browse any website it finds?

    No. The AI uses the search results and snippets provided by the tool to answer your questions.

  • 02

    Does the AI remember my search history?

    The AI remembers the context of your current conversation, but the Serper connector itself does not store a permanent history of your searches.

  • 03

    Can the AI click buttons or fill out forms on websites?

    No. This connector is for retrieving search data, not for interacting with or navigating through web pages.

  • 04

    Will the AI automatically search for everything I say?

    No. The AI only triggers a search when it determines that live web data is necessary to answer your specific prompt.

    No. The tool is strictly for information retrieval and cannot perform transactions or any other actions on the web.
