Internet Search

The Internet integration enriches your internal tools (Gmail, Calendar, JIRA, HubSpot, Drive, Sheets) with fresh, public context: competitor updates, funding rounds, pricing changes, market trends, security advisories, regulations, and more. Unlike tool integrations that only query your workspace, Internet Search pulls external information and summarizes it into actions. The strongest results come from combining the internet with your internal data in one brief.

​
What Internet Search excels at

  • Competitor & market intelligence: launches, pricing shifts, hiring, product strategy
  • Investor & deal flow: who invested, round sizes, sector momentum
  • Customer/prospect research: pre-call brief, company background, talking points
  • Security advisories: CVEs, vendor bulletins, remediation guidance
  • Regulatory & policy tracking: privacy/AI/industry rules and compliance deadlines
  • Pricing & packaging intelligence: plan structures, usage/overage fees, discounts
  • Trend radar: authoritative reports, research summaries, thought leadership inputs
  • Reputation checks: reviews, press mentions, notable incidents

Ask Internet agents to produce a consistent structure so you can scan quickly and automate downstream steps:
  • Title & date range
  • Sources (linked)
  • Findings (bullets)
  • Why this matters (1-liners)
  • Actions / Talking points
  • Appendix (raw links/quotes if needed)
This makes it easy to append to Sheets, send to WhatsApp, or archive in Notes.

​
Quality controls (how to get better results)

  • Time-bounded queries: “last 7 days”, “last 30 days”
  • Scoped topics: “pricing changes”, “launches”, “funding” vs “everything”
  • Credibility: “prefer official sites, reputable media, company blogs; avoid forums unless authoritative”
  • Action-orientation: always ask for implications or next steps
  • Links: require citations for verification and sharing
  • Rhythms: Weekly (Mon AM or Fri PM) and Monthly (1st) work best

​
Privacy & compliance

  • Internet Search returns public information only.
  • Always link to sources for verification.
  • Do not paste sensitive internal data into public forms or sites.
  • When blended with internal tools, outputs stay inside your workspace (Notes/Email/WhatsApp) per your settings.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Results feel generic → Narrow scope (companies, timeframe, topic) and ask for implications.
  • Too many links → Request “top 5 only” with summaries.
  • Low-quality sources → Specify trusted domains; ask to exclude noisy sites.
  • Repetition week to week → Add “exclude previously reported items unless major updates.”
Use these patterns to convert raw web results into decisions and actions. The best briefs combine Internet insights with your Gmail/Calendar/JIRA/HubSpot data on a regular schedule.
