Tools & agentic behavior
For questions that need outside data, IsonAI works agentically: it picks a tool, runs it, reads the results, then decides the next step — over several rounds if needed — before composing the answer.
Available tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Web search | Finding current facts across search engines and Ison Search |
| Page reading | Opening URLs (from search results or ones you paste) and reading their contents |
| Knowledge search | The official IsonAI product knowledge base |
| Stock prices | Current market data, IDX and global |
| Local places | Curated Indonesian places and business data |
| Academic search | Journals and scholarly articles across many sources |
| Document editing | Doc Edit for attached PDFs |
| Google connectors | Calendar, Gmail, and Drive — only after you connect them; see Connected services |
While tools run, progress lines in the interface show what is being searched and read — the process is never fully hidden.
Recovery when tools fail
If a search or page read fails or returns irrelevant results, IsonAI tries another path — a different query or a different source. If the evidence remains inadequate, IsonAI states its limitations instead of making things up.
Consent boundaries (authority)
- Google connectors only activate after you grant permission through the official Google sign-in flow, and can be disconnected at any time from Settings.
- IsonAI does not take official outbound actions on your behalf — it does not send emails, pay, sign, or submit anything. It prepares the drafts and the steps; you execute them.
- In Naya, plans with real-world impact stop at an approval gate for you to review first.
Privacy protections in tool use
Personalized tool use is protected by the following principles, enforced server-side:
- Personal data from your memory and history is never sent out through search queries or requests to external sites. Only what you write in the current message becomes search material.
- Web content and document contents are treated as data to analyze — instructions embedded in web pages or files are not followed as commands.
- Links that appear in answers are restricted to sources that were actually used and come from legitimate places.
The above is a behavioral contract, not a technical specification; the internal mechanisms are not published.
Limits
- The number of tool rounds per answer is capped to keep responses reasonable; genuinely broad research is better suited to Deep Research.
- Third-party connectors other than Google are not yet available.
