# What your AI can do with BRONTIR **Turn the entire public web into a structured, citable, always-fresh knowledge base for your AI agents.** BRONTIR is a research backend that connects to your AI assistant over MCP and gives it what plain web search can't: deep access to the real content of live sites, meaning-aware extraction, and a durable memory it can search and cite. Where built-in tools return snippets that vanish after a turn, BRONTIR builds a permanent corpus you can return to, search inside, and cite down to the exact line. --- ## What it can do ### Reach any public page Give it any public link and get back clean, readable content. News articles, blogs, documentation, company sites, landing pages — any public HTTP(S) URL is accepted and turned into structured text ready for analysis. ### Deep, platform-aware extraction For the most popular platforms it uses specialized extraction that understands each platform's structure, not a generic page dump: - **Video** — transcripts and metadata (YouTube and more), so your agent can analyze a video without watching it. - **Social** — posts, comments and metadata from Reddit, X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, Twitch, Snapchat and Truth Social. - **Documents** — text extracted from PDFs by direct link. - **Images** — pictures are described in text, so visual content becomes searchable, quotable and analyzable. Works both for images inside posts and for a direct link to a picture. ### Search and discover Don't have exact URLs? Run a search and let the platform find sources for you: - **Web** — organic results with related queries. - **Maps & local** — places, businesses and points on the map, down to a single listing. - **Video** — find clips with filters for upload date, quality and exact match. - **Social** — search by keyword, community, hashtag, author or ad library, with date filters. ### Extraction by meaning, not raw dump Every fetch carries a plain-language intent — what you actually care about. The platform doesn't just download a page; it separates signal from noise, splitting results into relevant and off-topic and surfacing the key parts of long material. You get an answer to your question, not a pile of HTML. ### Persistent, citable memory Everything gathered is stored as durable records in your workspace — not ephemeral text dropped into a single turn: - **Re-readable** — every result from Search and Fetch is kept as a citable record you can open again later, long after the turn that produced it. - **Exact citations** — pull the precise line ranges you care about from a specific version of a record, and get answers backed by per-record, line-level citations. - **Search inside your corpus** — keyword and regular-expression search across everything you've collected, with context around each match. ### Research agents Intelligent helpers work on top of the collected data: - **Batch fetch** dozens of links in one call, processed in parallel with clean per-item error handling. - **Structured questions** over your corpus — get a ready answer, a set of supporting citations, or both at once. - **Search fan-out** — run a series of searches across different platforms in a single task. ### Real-time results Long research doesn't make you wait for all-or-nothing. Partial results stream in as they arrive: first findings show up immediately, so your agent can react on the fly, branch into new directions, and stop as soon as it has enough. --- ## The tools your agent gets | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **Search** | Discover sources across Google, Google Maps, YouTube, Reddit, TikTok and Threads — run one query across several sources at once. | | **Fetch** | Pull clean, structured content from any public URL — many at a time — with platform-aware extraction for video, social, PDFs and images. | | **Ask** | Ask a question over the records you've gathered and get an answer with per-record, line-level citations. | | **Read** | Read any collected record by reference — a specific version, or just the exact line range you need. | | **GrepData** | Search your whole corpus by keyword or regex, with surrounding context. | | **GetResults** | Stream and collect results from longer research tasks as they complete. | --- ## Sources you can work with - **Web & search** — Google, websites, product pages, news - **Maps & local** — Google Maps, local businesses, reviews - **Video & creators** — YouTube, TikTok, Twitch - **Social platforms** — Reddit, X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, Snapchat, Truth Social - **Documents & files** — PDFs, tables, images --- ## Why it beats plain web search | Plain web search | BRONTIR | |---|---| | Snippets that vanish after the answer | A permanent corpus you can return to | | Only what made it into the snippet | Full content of pages, videos, posts, PDFs and images | | No way to cite a specific spot | Citations precise to the line | | Starts from scratch each time | A cached, re-readable corpus you can search and cite | | One generic parser | Platform-specific extraction for each source | | A crowd of tools weighing the agent down | A lightweight toolkit — a few simple tools with dozens of sources behind them, keeping your agent fast and focused | | Every result looks equally important | Each source comes with a short summary and a relevance note, so your agent skips the noise | | Whole pages burned through the context window | Your agent reads only the parts that matter — each task finishes faster and costs less | --- ## Getting started 1. **Create an account** — free, no card required.
