RAG Web Browser
Web browser for OpenAI Assistants, RAG pipelines, or AI agents, similar to a web browser in ChatGPT. It queries Google Search, scrapes the top N pages from the results, and returns their cleaned content as Markdown for further processing by an LLM. It can also scrape individual URLs. Supports MCP.

OpenAPI is a standard for designing and describing RESTful APIs, allowing developers to define API structure, endpoints, and data formats in a machine-readable way. It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.
OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.
By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.
You can download the OpenAPI definitions for RAG Web Browser from the options below:
