miibo Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Masashi Kunugi) has released a major update to its no-code conversational AI service "miibo", featuring a new "Web Search Tool Feature". This update provides an environment where users can easily build higher-performance, faster, and more accurate AI on miibo.
In this release, we will inform you about the latest updates.
## Introduction of the Web Search Tool Feature
Starting March 17, 2026, the new "Web Search Tool Feature" has been integrated into miibo. This feature collects information from the web in real-time in response to conversations on miibo and uses it to generate responses.
While conventional models required the configuration of Google Custom Search (Google's Programmable Search Engine), this update allows the use of models linked to web search engines without any configuration.
It is possible to search for information across the entire web or within specific sites, and automatically insert the retrieved content into prompts to improve the accuracy of answers.
- **Acquisition of Latest Information**
You can reflect the latest web information (e.g., news, government announcements, industry trends) that cannot be covered by your own knowledge data store in the AI's answers in real-time.
- **Utilization of Specific Sites and External Data**
By setting only specific sites as search targets with Google Custom Search, you can pinpoint and utilize highly reliable information such as official sites, FAQs, and public manuals for answers.
- **Streamlining Knowledge Management**
Because necessary information can be automatically retrieved from the web each time without double management of information, it helps maintain the freshness of knowledge and reduces operational burdens.
Specifically, it can be used in the following examples:
- Internal helpdesk AI retrieves the latest laws and system changes from the web to provide guidance.
- Product support AI quotes the latest answers from the FAQ on the manufacturer's official website.
- Customer-facing chatbots provide guidance based on information from external news sites.
### Target Models for Use
- **GPT**
GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1-min, GPT-5, GPT-5-mini, GPT-5-nano, GPT-5.1, GPT-5.2, GPT-5.3 Chat, GPT-5.4, o3, o3-mini, o4-mini
* When setting GPT-5, GPT-5-mini, or GPT-5-nano, the feature cannot be used if Reasoning Effort is set to minimal.
