Web Search and Fetch

Search the open web and read any URL, with citations.

Two foundational tools every chat has access to. Web Search runs a real search query and returns ranked results. Fetch loads any URL and reads it cleanly. Combined, they let Zentor answer questions about live information — news, prices, docs, code repos — without leaving the chat.

How it works

3 steps to wire up Web Search and Fetch, no engineering required.

  1. 1

    Ask a question that needs the web

    'What's the latest pricing for AWS RDS?', 'Read this docs page and summarize it', 'What did they announce at the Apple event today?'

  2. 2

    Zentor runs search and fetch as needed

    It might search to find candidate URLs, fetch a few of them, then synthesize. Citations are inline so you can verify the source of every claim.

  3. 3

    For multi-source investigations, use Deep Research

    Search and Fetch are good for 1 to 3 sources. For 10+ sources or a structured report with cross-checking, Deep Research is the right tool.

Try saying

Real prompts you can paste into Web Search and Fetch.

  • › What's the current price of a 2TB SSD on Amazon, and is it cheaper than 6 months ago?
  • › Read the Anthropic API pricing page and tell me the cached vs uncached input rate for Sonnet 5.
  • › Find the GitHub repo for langchain's Postgres vector store and read the README to me.

Step by step demo

What actually happens when you send the prompt.

Prompt 01 3 steps

“Read the Anthropic API pricing page and tell me the cached vs uncached input rate for Sonnet 5.”

What Zentor does

  1. 1 Searches for 'Anthropic API pricing site:anthropic.com'.
  2. 2 Fetches the top result (anthropic.com/pricing) and reads the model table.
  3. 3 Extracts the Sonnet 5 row: input $3 per 1M tokens, cached input $0.30 per 1M (90% off).
Result

Replies: 'Sonnet 5 is $3 per million input tokens uncached, $0.30 per million when cached — a 90% discount. Cache writes are billed at $3.75 per million (a 25% premium over uncached). Source: anthropic.com/pricing.'

FAQ

Quick answers about pricing, privacy, and limits.

What search provider do you use?
We rotate between providers (Brave, SerpAPI, Tavily) for resilience and quality. Results are normalized to a single schema before the model sees them.
Can it read sites behind login?
Not Fetch — that uses an unauthenticated HTTP client. For login-gated sites, use Browser Control, which spins up a real Chromium with your saved session.
How fresh is the data?
Search results are real-time. Fetched pages are loaded live, not cached, so what you see is what's currently on the page.
What about paywalled sites?
Fetch reads what the publisher serves; some paywalled sites only return a teaser. We don't bypass paywalls. For research-grade access, point at open-access mirrors or use Deep Research with academic source pinning.
