Use Cases

Real-time answers for every question

See how businesses use Google Search-powered AI agents to handle questions that require live web data, current pricing, or external research during customer conversations.

Competitor Comparison Questions Handled Live

A prospect asks 'How does your pricing compare to [competitor]?' Your AI Agent runs a Google search for the competitor's current pricing page, finds the relevant details, and provides an honest comparison alongside your value proposition. The prospect gets an informed answer immediately, and your sales team does not scramble to find competitor intel.

Industry Questions Beyond Your Knowledge Base

A customer asks about a new regulation affecting your industry that your docs have not covered yet. Your AI Agent searches Google for authoritative sources, pulls the relevant regulatory details, and summarizes the impact. The customer gets a helpful answer even though the information is not in your system, building trust in your support quality.

Product Research Assistance for Buyers

A shopper asks 'What are the best laptop stands for back pain?' Your AI Agent searches Google for recent product reviews, compiles top recommendations with links, and suggests any matching products from your catalog. The buyer gets research assistance without leaving your site, increasing engagement and conversion likelihood.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent decide when to search Google versus using my knowledge base?

You configure this in your agent's gambit logic. Typically, the agent first checks your knowledge base for an answer. If no relevant content is found, or if the question requires current data (like pricing, news, or external references), the agent triggers a Google Search via SerpAPI to fill the gap.

Can the agent search for results in specific languages or countries?

Yes. SerpAPI supports language (hl), country (gl), and Google domain parameters. The agent can automatically detect the customer's language and adjust search parameters, or you can configure fixed regional settings for location-specific results.

What data does SerpAPI return from a search?

SerpAPI returns structured JSON with organic results (title, link, snippet), knowledge panels, People Also Ask sections, related searches, ads, images, news, and more. The agent processes this data and presents the most relevant information conversationally.

Does each customer question cost a SerpAPI credit?

Only questions that trigger a Google Search use SerpAPI credits. If the agent answers from your knowledge base, no search credit is consumed. You can also configure rate limits and caching to control API usage per conversation.

Can the agent search for images or videos specifically?

Yes. Using the tbm parameter, the agent can run image searches (tbm=isch), video searches (tbm=vid), news searches (tbm=nws), or shopping searches (tbm=shop). Each returns structured results specific to that content type.

How is this different from the customer just Googling it themselves?

Your customer stays in the conversation. The agent searches, filters, and summarizes the best results in context of their specific question, saving them the effort. Plus, the agent can combine Google results with your internal data for a comprehensive answer no search engine page can provide alone.

Does SerpAPI handle CAPTCHAs and rate limiting automatically?

Yes. SerpAPI handles CAPTCHA solving, proxy rotation, and rate management on their infrastructure. Your agent makes a simple API call and gets clean, structured results. No infrastructure management needed on your side.

Can I restrict what the agent searches for to prevent off-topic queries?

Yes. In your agent configuration, you can set guardrails around search topics, approved domains, or query patterns. The agent follows your rules about what kinds of searches are appropriate, keeping responses on-brand and relevant to your business.
