Get a cited answer from the public web

Ask a question and get a short answer built from public web sources, with a link for each one and its publication date when the source has one. Your agent can search with Exa, and can read one public page you choose with Firecrawl.

Exa: a cited answer

Find three primary sources that explain how passkeys work. Give me a short answer with a link and publication date for each source, and mark anything the sources do not support. If a source has no publication date, say it is unknown instead of guessing.

Exa: a reading list

Find the official text of the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation and two independent summaries of it. Make a reading list with links, publication dates and one line on what each covers. If a source has no publication date, say it is unknown instead of guessing.

Firecrawl: one page you choose

Ask me for one public HTML page to read. Then summarize it with its URL and the date you read it. If the page cannot be read, tell me and stop.

What your agent uses

• flovia_exa searches the public web with Exa. By default, Exa returns up to 10 search results, each with cited excerpts of up to 1,000 characters. If your agent sets text_max_characters (1 to 12,000), each result comes with up to that many characters of its page’s text instead. Page text can be cut short or missing, and Flovia does not check that it is complete. Only your search terms and search settings go to Exa, so keep private or personal information out of them.
• flovia_firecrawl reads a page as Markdown. Firecrawl reads one public HTML page, or the text of a public PDF (its first 10 pages), at a time, only from sites Flovia allows. Your agent can list the allowed sites first.

Use a source that appears in your agent’s current tool list. A source that is not listed is unavailable.

Example reply

The reply below is made up for illustration. Your replies carry your own values.

Passkeys replace a password with a pair of keys. The private key stays on your device, and the website keeps only the public key (sources 1 and 2). Signing in proves that you hold the private key without sending it (sources 1 and 3).

1. Source A, published 2026-01-15
2. Source B, published 2025-11-02
3. Source C, publication date unknown

Links are left out of this example. Not supported by these sources: how passkeys sync between devices.
