Web Summary

Web Summary activity in the UiPath GenAI Activities connector.

Note:

As of September 28, 2026, the Perplexity.ai search engine in this activity uses Perplexity's Agent API. Perplexity is retiring the Sonar Chat Completions API that it previously used (supported until September 27, 2026), so UiPath migrated the activity to the Agent API to keep your automations running. No changes are required on your side. Because the Agent API differs from the Chat Completions API in request and response structure, the summary, citations, or model behavior may differ slightly. Re-test any workflows that parse this activity's output.

Description​

Web Summary provides an AI-generated summary of search results, synthesizing key insights from multiple sources and including citations. The summary and source citations are available in the output.

Note:

Web Summary offers near-real-time search results. Note that time-sensitive data, like stock prices or weather, may be retrieved with a lag of up to several days. You can provide date, time and/or location as arguments in the query if needed, but the engine may still return delayed information.
