Live web search with citations
Most AI assistants answer from training data with a fixed cutoff, so anything recent is a guess. MiyoMind is different: when a question needs current information, Miyo runs a real-time web search, reads the results, and writes an answer that links back to the pages it used. You stay in the same conversation the whole time, whether that conversation lives in WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord or the web dashboard at miyomind.com.
How does AI web search work in MiyoMind?
When you ask a question, Miyo decides whether it needs live information. If it does, it searches the web, opens the most relevant pages, reads their actual content, and synthesises an answer with citations. You never call a special command or flip a setting; you just ask in plain language and the assistant handles retrieval behind the scenes.
- You send a question in chat, e.g. "What did the Fed decide at this week's meeting?"
- Miyo recognises it needs fresh data and runs a live web search.
- It opens and reads the top relevant pages rather than relying on the search snippet alone.
- It writes a concise answer and attaches the source links it drew from.
- You click through to verify, or ask a follow-up and Miyo keeps the thread going.
Because Miyo reads the underlying pages, it can also read a specific URL you paste in and pull facts straight from it. That makes it useful not just for open-ended searches but for "summarise this article" or "what are the key points on this page" requests.
What can I actually use live web search for?
Anything where the answer changes over time or lives on a page you don't want to read in full. Here are realistic examples people run every day:
- Current prices and markets: "What's the SOL price right now, with a one-line summary?"
- Breaking news and events: "Summarise what happened in the [topic] story today and link your sources."
- Research before a decision: "Compare the top three options for [product], with links so I can check."
- Reading a specific page: "Read this URL and give me the three key takeaways."
- Fact-checking a claim: "Is it true that [claim]? Cite where you found the answer."
- Travel and logistics: "What are the current entry requirements for [country]?"
Because web search lives in the same assistant as your other tools, you can chain it. Ask Miyo to search a topic, then draft an email about it, set a reminder to follow up, and remember the context for next time, all in one conversation.
How does it reduce hallucination?
Hallucination happens when a model invents a plausible-sounding answer it has no real source for. Live web search attacks that problem directly: instead of answering from memory, Miyo grounds the response in pages it actually retrieved and then shows you the links. That gives you two safeguards at once: the answer is built from current sources, and you can click through to confirm it yourself.
That is why citations matter. MiyoMind doesn't ask you to trust a black box; it hands you the receipts. When a question genuinely can't be answered from the sources it found, Miyo is built to say so rather than fabricate, and on every message MiyoMind runs a 10-layer prompt-injection defence plus output scrubbing so a malicious page can't quietly hijack the answer.
How much does web search cost?
MiyoMind runs on credits, and live search is metered like everything else: a search and a page read each draw a small amount of credit, and the model usage to read and summarise the results is billed on actual consumption. In practice a typical search-and-answer turn is inexpensive relative to your monthly allowance, and you only pay for what you use rather than a flat per-search fee.
| Plan | Price / mo | Credits / mo | Dedicated container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 100 | No (shared direct-agent) |
| Plus | $14.99 | 6,000 | Yes (1) |
| Pro | $39.99 | 18,000 | Yes (1) |
Need more headroom? Credits are also sold as top-up packs (600 for $3, 2,000 for $10, 5,000 for $25, 10,000 for $50). One credit is worth roughly $0.005 of usage. The Free plan is enough to try live search and citations with no card required; paid plans add a dedicated, sandboxed container and a much larger monthly allowance for heavy research days.
Tips for better search results
- Ask for citations explicitly the first time so it becomes the default style in that thread: "Answer and link your sources."
- Be specific about recency: "as of today" or "this week" pushes Miyo toward fresh results.
- Paste a URL when you already know the source you want read, rather than describing it.
- Ask follow-ups in the same chat; Miyo keeps the context and can search again without you re-explaining.
- For decisions, ask for a short comparison plus links so you can verify the trade-offs yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Does MiyoMind have live web search?
Yes. MiyoMind's assistant, Miyo, searches the live web in real time when a question needs current information, then answers with linked citations. It works inside WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord and the web dashboard, with no separate command to trigger it.
Does it actually cite its sources?
Yes. When Miyo uses the web to answer, it attaches the source links it drew from so you can click through and verify each claim. Asking it to "link your sources" makes citations the default style for that conversation.
How is this different from a normal AI chatbot?
A normal chatbot answers from training data with a fixed cutoff, so recent facts are guesses. MiyoMind retrieves and reads current web pages before answering, which grounds the response in real sources and reduces the chance of made-up information.
Can Miyo read a specific web page I give it?
Yes. Paste a URL and ask Miyo to read it, summarise it, or pull specific facts from it. It opens the page and works from the actual content rather than just a search snippet.
How much does web search cost on MiyoMind?
Search runs on credits and is metered by actual usage, so a typical search-and-answer turn is inexpensive relative to your plan. The Free plan includes 100 credits a month with no card required, and paid plans plus top-up packs add far more headroom.
Is web search private and safe?
Yes. Every message runs through a 10-layer prompt-injection defence and output scrubbing so a malicious page can't hijack the answer. Paid users also get a dedicated, sandboxed container, and your integrations and memories are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.
