scry

A pi extension that gives the LLM web search via the Brave Search API.

Install

pi install git:github.com/resolveworks/scry

Or to try it without installing:

pi -e git:github.com/resolveworks/scry

Setup

Get a free API key at brave.com/search/api and set it:

export BRAVE_API_KEY=your_key_here

Add to your shell profile (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.) to persist it.

Usage

Ask pi anything that benefits from up-to-date web results. The LLM will call web_search automatically when it needs to look something up.

You can also prompt it directly:

Search the web for the latest Node.js 22 changelog
