# Advanced Tool Integration

> Learn how to get the most out of Omnifact's built-in tools with simple, effective prompts.

Omnifact is more than just chat interface—it can search the web, read your documents, and find answers in your Uploaded Files. The secret? Knowing how to ask for the help you need, in plain language.

## What is Tool Integration?

Tool integration means getting Omnifact to use its special features—like web search or document analysis—right when you need them. You don’t need to be technical. Just ask for what you want, and Omnifact will use the right tool for the job.

## How to Use Tools in Your Prompts

You can trigger tools just by the way you ask your question. Here’s how:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Web Search" icon="globe" href="/en/platform/core-features/chats/web-search-browsing">
    **Best for:** Current events, recent data, or info not in the AI's training.

    **Try:** "Search online for 2025 marketing trends."
  </Card>

  <Card title="URL Fetch" icon="link" href="/en/platform/core-features/chats/web-search-browsing">
    **Best for:** Summarizing or extracting data from a specific webpage.

    **Try:** "Read this article at [https://example.com](https://example.com) and summarize the main points."
  </Card>

  <Card title="Image Generation" icon="image" href="/en/platform/core-features/chats/image-generation">
    **Best for:** Creating custom visuals, charts, or illustrations.

    **Try:** "Generate an image of a futuristic smart city skyline."
  </Card>

  <Card title="Document Analysis" icon="file-magnifying-glass">
    **Best for:** Summarizing or analyzing files you attach.

    **Try:** "Review this contract and list all payment deadlines."
  </Card>

  <Card title="Uploaded Files" icon="database">
    **Best for:** Finding answers in your Space's uploaded documents.

    **Try:** "Find our company’s travel policy in the Uploaded Files."
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  **Tool Availability:** Access to specific tools like Web Search, URL Fetch, and Image Generation depends on your organization's [Group Permissions](/en/platform/team-administration/groups). If a tool isn't responding, check with your team administrator.
</Note>

## Controlling Tools with Response Modes

Instead of relying solely on the prompt, you can manually control which tools Omnifact is allowed to use via the **Response Mode** selector in the chat input:

* **Auto Mode (Sparkles):** The default setting. The AI automatically decides which tools to use based on your prompt (e.g., searching the web, analyzing files).
* **Quick Response (Bolt):** Forces the AI to respond directly *without* using external tools (no web search or document retrieval). Best for simple questions or brainstorming where speed is more important than external facts.
* **Simple Lookup (Magnifying Glass):** Only available in Spaces with Uploaded Files. Forces the AI to *only* use the retrieved documents to answer, ignoring general knowledge. This is your best defense against hallucinations.

## Combining Tools for Better Results

You can ask Omnifact to use more than one tool in a single prompt. Here are some real-world examples:

```
Research the latest customer satisfaction benchmarks online, then compare them to our results in the attached report. Where do we stand out, and where can we improve?
```

```
Extract all revenue numbers from this financial report, then calculate the growth rate for each product line. Show the results in a table.
```

```
Using our internal sales guide, compare our approach to what’s recommended online for 2026. What should we update?
```

## Best Practices

* Be clear about what you want ("search online," "use the attached document")
* Give context—explain why you need the info
* Include timeframes for web research (year, quarter, or "as of today")
* Break big requests into steps if needed
* Always check that your files are attached or you’re in the right Space
* Review results and ask follow-up questions if needed

## Troubleshooting Tool Use
