virattt/ai-financial-agent
Add live web search/retrieval to this repository so its agent can ground its answers in current web information. Research the repository, then recommend the single best managed web-search/retrieval provider to use. The agent needs access to high-quality, reputable, and licensed sources rather than generic scraped search-engine results, so weigh source coverage and quality heavily. Return: the provider you'd choose, the main alternatives you considered, which providers' documentation you actually consulted, and why you chose it over the others.

Agent context: **Recommendation** Choose **Linkup** as the web-search/retrieval provider. This repo is a Next.js/Vercel AI SDK financial agent. It already passes tools into `streamText` from a server-side tool manager in [route.ts](/home/user/worktrees/attempt-366d0d50-5831-4685-93fc-59b6076ffdb8-cap-3/app/(chat)/api/chat/route.ts:176), and the existing tool pattern is plain HTTP-backed Vercel AI SDK tools in [financial-tools.ts](/home/user/worktrees/attempt-366d0d50-5831-4685-93fc-59b6076ffdb8-cap-3/lib/ai/tools/financial-tools.ts:38). Linkup fits that shape cleanly: add a `webSearch`/`webFetch` tool that calls Linkup, returns source URLs/snippets/content, and lets the current OpenAI model synthesize. Why Linkup: its docs position `/search` specifically as synchronous web grounding for AI, with `searchResults`, `sourcedAnswer`, and structured JSON outputs; it supports `fast`, `standard`, and `deep` search modes, including agentic search and page scraping in standard/deep modes; and it has source/domain/date controls for constraining retrieval to trusted sources. Linkup also emphasizes source trust/customization, enterprise security, and source-backed retrieval rather than just returning generic SERP snippets. Sources: Linkup intro and endpoint docs: https://docs.linkup.so/, https://docs.linkup.so/pages/documentation/endpoints/search/overview, https://docs.linkup.so/pages/documentation/tutorials/filtering, https://docs.linkup.so/pages/documentation/endpoints/fetch/reference. **Main Alternatives** - **ProRata / Gist Answers**: strongest explicit licensing story. Its docs say the Gist Content Network has 500+ trusted sources and that external content is licensed, credited, and compensated. I would not choose it here because it is framed as a publisher/site AI-search product with approval/configuration flow, not a general backend retrieval API for this chat agent. Sources: https://platform.gist.ai/docs/ga-overview, https://platform.gist.ai/docs/select-sources. - **OpenAI Web Search**: easiest conceptually because the repo already uses OpenAI, and OpenAI’s Responses API web search supports citations, source metadata, and domain filters. I would not choose it as the primary provider here because the repo currently uses Vercel AI SDK chat models via `provider.chat(...)` in [index.ts](/home/user/worktrees/attempt-366d0d50-5831-4685-93fc-59b6076ffdb8-cap-3/lib/ai/index.ts:6), so using native OpenAI web search would likely require a larger Responses API migration. The docs also do not make the same source-quality/licensed-provider positioning. Source: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/tools-web-search. - **Tavily**: solid agent-oriented search, recency filters, domain filters, snippets, and extraction. Weaker than Linkup for this requirement because its docs read more like optimized web search/RAG over open web, not licensed or curated premium source access. Source: https://docs.tavily.com/examples/quick-tutorials/search-api. - **Exa**: strong semantic search/content retrieval and good AI SDK integrations, but less aligned with the “licensed, reputable source coverage” requirement than Linkup. Source: https://exa.ai/docs/reference/search-api-guide. - **Perplexity Search/Sonar**: good current web search and cited answers, but it is more of an answer/search model stack; less control over building this agent’s own retrieval contract. Source: https://docs.perplexity.ai/docs/search/quickstart. - **Brave Search/Answers**: high-scale independent web index, citations, OpenAI-compatible Answers API, and good cost. Still fundamentally an open-web search index rather than curated/licensed retrieval. Source: https://brave.com/search/api/. - **You.com Search API**: structured web/news results and full-page content, useful for RAG, but I did not find a stronger licensing/source-quality case than Linkup. Source: https://you.com/docs/search/overview. **Docs Actually Consulted** I consulted Linkup, ProRata/Gist, OpenAI Web Search, Tavily, Exa, Perplexity, Brave, and You.com documentation. I also inspected this repo’s chat route, model wrapper, and financial tool manager to confirm integration fit. Bottom line: **Linkup is the best single provider for this repository**, with one caveat: for production, confirm the exact premium/licensed source coverage contractually. If the requirement becomes “only licensed publisher-network content, no open web at all,” then ProRata/Gist becomes the licensing leader but is a worse technical fit for this agent. **Recommendation** Choose **Linkup** as the web-search/retrieval provider. This repo is a Next.js/Vercel AI SDK financial agent. It already passes tools into `streamText` from a server-side tool manager in [route.ts](/home/user/worktrees/attempt-366d0d50-5831-4685-93fc-59b6076ffdb8-cap-3/app/(chat)/api/chat/route.ts:176), and the existing tool pattern is plain HTTP-backed Vercel AI SDK tools in [financial-tools.ts](/home/user/worktrees/attempt-366d0d50-5831-4685-93fc-59b6076ffdb8-cap-3/lib/ai/tools/financial-tools.ts:38). Linkup fits that shape cleanly: add a `webSearch`/`webFetch` tool that calls Linkup, returns source URLs/snippets/content, and lets the current OpenAI model synthesize. Why Linkup: its docs position `/search` specifically as synchronous web grounding for AI, with `searchResults`, `sourcedAnswer`, and structured JSON outputs; it supports `fast`, `standard`, and `deep` search modes, including agentic search and page scraping in standard/deep modes; and it has source/domain/date controls for constraining retrieval to trusted sources. Linkup also emphasizes source trust/customization, enterprise security, and source-backed retrieval rather than just returning generic Provider mentions: openai
