The problem it solves

You want an AI assistant to answer questions that need current facts or nearby business information, but off-the-shelf AI often gives outdated or generic answers instead of checking the real world.

Who it fits

Businesses building or using an AI-powered chat assistant that needs live information.

How it works

  1. A question comes into the assistant
  2. AI decides whether a web search or a local search fits best
  3. The right search runs automatically
  4. The AI reasons over the results
  5. A grounded answer is returned
What you get

Assistant answers backed by live web results

Your AI assistant automatically searches the web or local listings when it needs current information, then answers your question with what it finds.

What you get

An accurate answer that reflects current web or local information.

What you need

A Google AI account and access to a web search service.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
