Web search in apps
Retool now supports performing web searches from the Chat tab of the app builder and from functions in draft or published apps. While building apps, the agent can access the internet to answer questions or provide more context. Web searches use a Tavily account that Retool manages for you.

Tell me what kinds of things I can do with the latest update to the Linear API.
Your apps can also use functions to perform web searches. Prompt the agent to include the search functionality that the users will need.
When the user clicks the Search button, search the internet and return the top three results for the user's query.
Web search is on by default. Admins can disable this feature by toggling off Web search in Settings > AI.
