Search Tool

Usage

Portia offers both open source tools as well as a cloud-hosted library of tools to save you development time. You can dig into the specs of those tools in our open source repo (SDK repo ↗).

You can import our open source tools into your project using from portia.open_source_tools.registry import open_source_tool_registry and load them into an InMemoryToolRegistry object. You can also combine their use with cloud or custom tools as explained in the docs (Add custom tools ↗).
