How does Web search while content is generated work?

Step 1: Turn on the Web switch — The composer's Web toggle sits beside the language and agent pickers; on means the AI may call search tools while writing. Step 2: Write the brief as usual — Nothing else about the campaign changes — the switch only widens what the writer is allowed to consult. Step 3: Check the pre-flight estimate — Estimated token usage notes that hosted search and local browse tools add latency and provider fees beyond the token figure. Step 4: Save it as a default when it fits — Drafts remember the switch across reloads, and Save preset can store it as the default for new campaigns.

Web search while content is generated

Let the content AI look up live sources while it writes instead of working only from your brief and model knowledge. A Web switch in the campaign composer enables hosted search on OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini keys, and browse tools on local CLI agents that expose them.

Why you need this

How it changes your marketing workflow

A model writing from its training data alone will confidently describe a pricing page, a competitor or a version number as it was months ago — and the only fix used to be doing the research yourself and pasting it into the brief. Turning search on for the runs that need current facts moves that work into the generation instead of ahead of it.

How it works

From open to result in a few steps

1

Turn on the Web switch

The composer's Web toggle sits beside the language and agent pickers; on means the AI may call search tools while writing.

2

Write the brief as usual

Nothing else about the campaign changes — the switch only widens what the writer is allowed to consult.

3

Check the pre-flight estimate

4

Save it as a default when it fits

Drafts remember the switch across reloads, and Save preset can store it as the default for new campaigns.

The writer looks up live sources as it writes

Off by default so normal runs stay cheap

Key capabilities

Everything included with Web search while content is generated

Enable web search per campaign from the composer

Use hosted search with your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini key

Use browse tools on local CLI agents that expose them, including Grok

Keep it off by default so ordinary runs stay cheaper and offline-friendly

See the added cost and latency called out in the token estimate

Persist the setting in a draft, or store it in a saved preset

Why it matters

The payoff of having content machine built into your workspace

Current facts without a research pass

The writer can look things up while writing, so a post about something that changed this week does not depend on the model's training cutoff.

Cheap and offline by default

The switch is off unless you turn it on, so ordinary campaign runs keep their usual cost and work without a network round trip.

Your own keys and your own agents

Hosted search runs through your OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini key, and local CLI agents that expose browse tools can use theirs instead.
