The internet_search skill lets the PAL answer questions with up-to-date information from the web. With the skill attached, the PAL searches in real time during the conversation instead of being limited to its training data and your Knowledge Base documents.

​
How it works

With the skill attached, the PAL runs a web search on every turn and the results are automatically injected into the conversation context so it can ground its response in the latest information.

​
Configuration

None - internet_search is a pure on/off toggle. Attaching it enables real-time search on every conversation the PAL has.

​
