Web Navigation
rtrvr.ai makes web navigation as easy as having a conversation. Instead of manually clicking through websites, you can use natural language commands to get where you need to go and perform actions.
Core Concepts
Web navigation in rtrvr.ai is primarily handled through the 'Seek' and 'Ask' functions within the Web Agent. Here are the core capabilities:
Seek (Active Tab)
- →Natural Language Commands: Use simple, conversational commands to navigate the currently active website.
- →Specific Actions: Tell rtrvr.ai to perform actions such as clicking buttons, filling forms, or scrolling through pages on the active tab.
- →Context Aware: rtrvr.ai understands the current context of the active page, allowing you to give commands relative to the elements on the page.
Ask (Across Tabs)
- →Multi-Tab Context: Select multiple open tabs to provide rtrvr.ai with a broader context.
- →Cross-Tab Actions: Issue commands that involve actions across multiple selected tabs. For example, you might have a LinkedIn profile open in one tab and a job application form in another.
- →Complex Use Cases: Ideal for scenarios like comparing information across different websites, filling out forms based on data from another tab, or compiling information across multiple sources.

Tips for Effective Navigation
- →Be Specific: The more specific you are with your commands, the better rtrvr.ai will understand your intent.
- →Use Natural Language: Don't be afraid to use everyday language. rtrvr.ai is designed to understand natural phrasing.
- →Combine Commands: Chain commands together for complex tasks. For example, "Go to the contact page and fill in the form".
- →Specify Tabs for Ask: When using the 'Ask' function, use the minimum tabs possible [max perhaps 10 tabs] due to context constraints and slower LLM response times.
