Agentic Workflows
18 pages covering agentic workflows.
RAG Grounding with Live Search Results
Why retrieval-augmented generation benefits from live web search, not just a static vector store.
Designing a Tool-Calling Schema for a Search Tool
How to shape a search function's parameters and return type so an LLM uses it reliably.
Building a Research Agent with a Search API
A pattern for an agent that plans queries, fetches results, and synthesizes a cited answer.
Autonomous Web-Browsing Agents and Search APIs
Where a search API fits before a browsing agent starts clicking through pages.
LangChain Search Tool Integration Patterns
Common ways to register a search API as a LangChain tool and keep outputs agent-friendly.
LlamaIndex Search Tool Integration Patterns
Using a search API as a retriever or query-engine data source in LlamaIndex.
Search APIs in AutoGPT-Style Autonomous Agents
How looped, goal-driven agents use search as one step in a larger plan-act-observe cycle.
Price and Competitor Monitoring Agents
Using scheduled search queries to track competitor pricing and positioning changes.
News-Monitoring Agents Built on Search APIs
Polling news-flavored search endpoints to alert on breaking coverage of a topic or brand.
Shopping Assistant Agents and Product Search
How shopping-oriented search endpoints power agents that compare products across retailers.
Citation-Checking Agents
Using search to verify that a claim an LLM made is actually supported by a real, findable source.
Caching and Rate-Limit Strategies for Agent Loops
Practical patterns for not burning your search API quota on repeated or looping agent queries.
Evaluating Latency and Cost Tradeoffs for Agentic Search
How to decide between a fast, cheap search call and a deeper, slower one inside an agent loop.
Multi-Step Query Planning with Search APIs
Breaking a broad question into a sequence of narrower search queries an agent executes in order.
Combining Search APIs with Vector Databases
A hybrid retrieval pattern: static embeddings for known documents, live search for everything else.
Reducing Hallucinations with Grounded Search
Why forcing a model to cite live search results measurably cuts down on confident fabrication.
Error Handling for Search Tools in Function-Calling Loops
What to return to the model when a search call fails, times out, or comes back empty.
Query Rewriting: Letting the Agent Improve Its Own Search Terms
A pattern where the model rewrites a bad query based on the first round of weak results.
