Give Your Elftia Agent Live Web Access
The Web Search skill lets the agent look things up on the web mid-conversation, instead of relying only on the model’s training data.
Elftia includes a built-in Web Search skill in its TinyElf agent engine, letting the agent look up current information from the web during a chat session.
