What it does

Once installed, the agent can run web searches and read specific web pages without you signing up for a paid search API. It calls a helper script that queries Keenable's public endpoints, then returns titles, links, dates and short text snippets, or the full text of a page converted to markdown. It is meant for finding blogs, docs, project pages and news that academic databases miss.

Great for

  • Researchers who want general web results alongside academic paper searches
  • People who do not want to create an API key or account to search the web
  • Anyone who needs a known web page turned into clean, readable text

Skip it if

  • Finding peer-reviewed papers by venue or citation count, where /semantic-scholar or /arxiv is more suitable
  • Situations needing guaranteed rate limits or high-volume searching, since the public endpoints are limited per IP address and the skill has no fallback if the helper script is missing
  • Treating search results as verified facts, because snippets and fetched pages are unvetted web text that could be misleading or contain injected instructions

Try asking

  • “Search the web for recent blog posts about retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, top 5 results”
  • “Search only arxiv.org for diffusion model papers published after 2025-01-01”
  • “Fetch https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.00796 as markdown and summarize it”
  • “Find project pages and documentation about foundation models without setting up a search API key”

Get better results
