Notte + Linkup: Search the Web, Then Act on It
Many workflows hit one of two walls. Either they can search the web but can't interact with it, or they can automate browsers but have no efficient way to find what they're looking for first. Linkup and Notte solve different halves of this problem and together they close the loop.
What Linkup does
Linkup is an AI search API built for LLMs and agents. It retrieves structured, real-time information from publicly available web sources. Think of it as the research layer: fast, accurate results returned in a format AI systems can immediately use.
Two modes cover most use cases. Standard handles quick lookups. Deep performs multi-step retrieval with built-in reasoning for more complex queries.
TLDR: super fast search API.
What Notte does
Notte is a browser automation platform. It spins up cloud-hosted browser sessions that agents can control directly. Navigate pages, fill forms, click elements, scrape structured data, download files. If a human can do it in a browser, a Notte agent can automate it.
This matters because not everything is publicly indexed or API-accessible. Authenticated dashboards, gated content, dynamic interfaces, and sites with no public API all require a real browser session. Crucially, Notte natively manages the underlying infrastructure, like anti-bot measures, browser fingerprinting, and CAPTCHAs, so your agents don't get blocked while accessing them.

Why they work well together
Linkup surfaces what's publicly available. Notte handles everything that isn't.
In practice, this means an agent can use Linkup to search for and locate relevant sources across the open web. Because Linkup returns clean, structured data (like JSON), you can seamlessly pass those exact URLs and data points as starting parameters into Notte. Notte then takes over to navigate those sources directly, gather live data, fill forms, or extract content that no search API can reach.
The result is a single workflow that covers both structured web search and direct browser interaction.
Example: competitive research report
- Linkup instantly searches for the latest publicly available data on a set of competitors: press releases, funding rounds, product updates, live pricing, and feature comparisons.
- Notte agents handle anything Linkup can't reach directly: gated content, authenticated dashboards, or dynamic interfaces that require browser interaction to load.
- The outputs merge into one report.
Example: lead enrichment
- Linkup pulls structured company data, funding rounds, recent news.
- Notte logs into internal tools or gated directories to pull additional contact details, org charts, or account activity.
- The enriched data feeds directly into CRM or outreach workflows.
When to use each tool
Use Linkup when you need to retrieve publicly indexed information or run real-time searches across the open web.
Use Notte when the workflow involves navigating authenticated or dynamic sites, scraping content behind login walls, or interacting with page elements like forms, file uploads, and buttons.
For workflows that combine public search with live browser data, use both together.
