Composio DuckDuckGo Search

The duckduckgosearch class utilizes the composio duckduckgo search api to perform searches, focusing on web information and details. it leverages the duckduckgo search engine via the composio duckduckgo search api to retrieve relevant web data based on the provided query.

Why this helps

A task can stay blocked while someone waits for a basic fact check that nobody has claimed as their next action.

  • Turn an explicit fact-check request into a search.
  • Keep evidence and the blocker together.
  • Help a teammate resume work with a useful starting answer.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Composio search to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation through the portal or by telling Notis what you need.
  • 3Write one instruction asking Notis to search DuckDuckGo when a Slack message identifies a blocker and asks for a checkable public fact, then share sources in the thread.
  • 4Choose Slack Channel Message Received and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real blocker that depends on public information.

Questions about this workflow

Should it search for every blocker?

Ask Notis to search only when the message identifies a specific public fact that can be checked online.

Can it close the task automatically?

No. It shares search results to support the team; a person should confirm the blocker is resolved.
