What you can automate

What does the Make AI Web Search Make integration do?

Make AI Web Search is an app built into Make that looks up current information on the internet from inside a scenario, the automation you build in Make as a chain of modules. It has a single action, Generate a response, and it runs within Make without a third-party account.

Enrich a new record. A form or CRM app hands over a company name, Generate a response looks it up on the web, and the next module stores what came back. The sales rep opens a record that already carries context.

Check a claim before it goes out. A draft sitting in a content tool can pass through the module so an editor sees what public pages say on the topic before approving it.

Keep an eye on a subject. A scenario started by Make's own clock can ask the web about a topic and post the answer to a chat or a sheet for the team.

Know the limits first. The app reads the raw HTML source of a page, like a simple fetcher, not a browser: it runs no JavaScript, so single page applications, content drawn in canvas or SVG and pages built by scripts come back empty or partial. The doc also says it is in beta, only available on paid plans, and that its pricing may change as it evolves; see Make pricing for how plans compare. If you are weighing platforms for AI steps, n8n vs Make sets out the criteria, and Make training walks you through scenario building from scratch.

How do you set up Make AI Web Search in Make?

  1. 01

    Add the module

    In your scenario, click the +, type Make AI Web Search and pick Generate a response. A module is one brick of the scenario; this one is an action that fetches information from the web.

  2. 02

    Create the connection if Make asks

    The doc lists no dedicated sign-in steps for this built-in app. If the module shows Create a connection, click it, give the connection a name you will recognize and follow what Make displays. A connection is saved once and reused by every module of the app.

  3. 03

    Save and check your plan

    Click Save. The doc states the app works on paid plans only, so on the Free plan you will need to upgrade before the module can run in a live scenario.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Make AI Web Search

GoalWhen another app sends a company name, Make AI Web Search looks it up and passes the answer to the next module.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the first module from the app that holds your data, such as your CRM or form tool.

  2. 02

    Add Generate a response

    Click the + to the right of that first module, search Make AI Web Search and choose Generate a response. Create the connection if Make asks for one.

  3. 03

    Map the data

    Fill the module fields and map values from the first module, such as the company name. Each bundle, one item passing from a module to the next, gets its own lookup.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario one time. Open the bubble above each module to read the bundles it received and check the answer makes sense.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run on a bundle counts as one operation on your plan.

Modules

What Make AI Web Search can do

Make AI Web Search gives you 1 module. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Make AI Web Search1

Generate a response

ActionIn the docs only

You get up-to-date information from websites, news and other online sources, returned inside your scenario so the next module can store, send or reuse it without you opening a browser.

When to use it
right after a module that hands over a name, a topic or a question you want checked against what the public web currently says.
Watch out
it reads static HTML only, so pages that build their text with JavaScript, canvas or SVG return little or nothing.

FAQ

Questions about Make AI Web Search in Make

01Is the Make AI Web Search Make integration free?
No. The Make documentation says Make AI Web Search is available on paid plans, so a Free account has to upgrade first. The Free plan otherwise allows 2 active scenarios with at least 15 minutes between scheduled runs. Paid plans, Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise, count usage in credits, which are operations, per month. The app is still in beta and the doc warns that its pricing may change as it evolves, so check the credits documentation before building a scenario that sends many lookups.
02What do you need to connect Make AI Web Search to Make?
A paid Make plan, according to the doc, and nothing else that the documentation lists. It is a built-in app, so searches run inside Make without a third-party integration. The doc gives no dedicated connection steps. If the module shows Create a connection, the usual Make flow applies: click it, name the connection, follow the prompt on screen and click Save. The connection is then reused by every module of the app in your scenarios.
03Can Make AI Web Search start a scenario in real time?
No. The app has no trigger, only the Generate a response action, so something else has to start the scenario. You can place a trigger from another app first, instant if that app calls Make through a webhook, or scheduled if Make checks it on a clock. You can also start the scenario on the schedule of the first module, which is every 15 minutes by default and can go down to 1 minute on paid plans.
04What if Make AI Web Search is missing a module or a limit blocks you?
It depends on the limit. The app has no Make an API Call module, so there is no side door to other features of the app. Its main limit is technical: it reads the initial HTML of a page and cannot run JavaScript, so single page applications and content drawn in canvas or SVG stay out of reach. For those sources, look for the site's own app in Make, or ask the team for help designing a workaround that fits your scenario.
05Make or n8n for Make AI Web Search?
It depends on where the rest of your automations live. Make AI Web Search is a Make app, built into the platform, so it only exists inside Make scenarios and needs a paid plan while it is in beta. If your flows already run in Make, adding the module keeps everything in one editor. If your team works in n8n, compare the two platforms on your own criteria, such as the apps you rely on and how your team likes to build, before moving any web lookup step.
