It’s just a UI update! Web-browsing is now an action. It’s the Google Search action. It is the same exact feature as before, we just now list it as an action. It was the first Action we ever built (a long time ago before the ‘Actions’ tab existed) and we just exposed it as a toggle. ![Screenshot 2024-10-30 at 1.59.54 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/7/74360f94c8ed7e0ab58ebccf66d593ddda76ed79.png) ---

Either in the prompt or under the “edit prompt trigger” part of the action add some specific instructions on when/how/why it should use web browsing. **Adding Instructions to Prompt** For example, you might add a simple section in your prompt that says: > WEB BROWSING > Whenever the user mentions sports, use web browsing the web to better answer their question. **Editing the Action** You can else add instructions directly in the prompt to tell it when/how/why to use the action. ![Screenshot 2024-10-31 at 4.35.14 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/0/0b24ccd091e18bfe221f967a6f1fd8adafb03cc9.png) ---

Ty once again… I just want to check my math real quick in regards to the ‘use case,’ for this in my mind. I’m heading in the direction of allowing my users to grab their Instagram profile l ink for example, and quickly feed the data to the bot so that it creates images similar to their own. Am I thinking about this correctly in regards to the proper use case that this Google Search can do, or am I a bit off line here? ---

It can get their Instagram profile, but it won’t be able to “see” their instagram pictures. If you wanted a chatbot that “looks at” Instagram photos and then generates photos similar to them you’ll need a different workflow. The user will need to upload an screenshot of their IG or a specific photo. The Pickaxe will “look” at it, describe it, and then use that description to create more images.

Ahh good to know. Okay great, ty so much once again. Thinking this through makes me wonder… Is there a way to, perhaps, upload a folder of images, and then let the bot run through a series of images to improve and enhance the database?
