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 Knowledge Base. 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:
Web Search
- Use for: Current events, recent data, or anything not in the LLM’s training.
- How to ask:
- “What’s the latest news about electric vehicles?”
- “Search online for 2025 marketing trends.”
Document Analysis
- Use for: Getting info from documents or files you attach in a conversation.
- How to ask:
- “Summarize the key points from the attached report.”
- “Review this contract and list all payment deadlines.”
Knowledge Base Search
- Use for: Finding info in your Space’s uploaded documents.
- How to ask:
- “Find our company’s travel policy in the Knowledge Base.”
- “Compare our onboarding process to industry best practices.”
