How to Enable Web Search in AICamp

With AICamp’s Web Search feature, you can search the web directly from the platform, making it easy to access live information. To enable this feature, you’ll need two things from Google’s Programmable Search Engine:

  1. Search Engine ID

  2. Custom Search API Key

Follow these steps to get started:

3. Once created, go to your new search engine's settings and click Customize.

4. Copy the Search Engine ID:
