Links as context

For context (pun intended), I work as a software engineer and when I am working on an project I find myself visiting the same few webpages frequently. I would like to provide links as context (much like the file upload feature that already exists).

For example, I might visit three different code files on GitHub because I am building a feature that reuses a lot of the same logic. Additionally I might have a some internal forum open that discusses solutions to debug an issue also related to that feature. My ideal flow is that I provide links to all of these webpages as context and the AI will use all of that context in response to the questions I ask.

I think I could achieve an approximation of this feature by downloading the pages manually and then uploading them as PDF files or something. But maybe giving the user the option to add links specifically might open the door to additional capabilities like periodically refreshing the links or something. Maybe that online forum doesn’t have the solution I need by a few days later it does. It would be cool if once the forum is updated then the AI would eventually be able to pull in that context.

    This is the main thing I’ve been missing since switching from openwebui.

    I believe you may be able to specify the link and enable web search on the request to simulate this, though it is not guaranteed to check that exact url. Will see about adding this as a feature though!
