A search API that returns web pages and structured results ranked by semantic/meaning similarity to a query (embeddings-based) rather than keyword matching, plus tools to fetch page contents and get LLM-generated answers with citations; used in GTM stacks (e.g., Clay) as a research layer to pull live company and person info off the open web.

Workflows to compare
These are research categories assigned to the product. They do not establish that every task is available through its MCP.
- Scrape a web page for facts: Fetch and structure an arbitrary public page. The general-purpose fallback when no structured provider has the record.
- Research an account before a call: Produce a synthesized read on a company or person from many sources, for prep or qualification rather than as a raw data pull.
