### What you can do

* **Research a company.** Bring together its website, SEC EDGAR filings, and financial data from Yahoo Finance in one brief.
* **Compare products.** Check prices and specs across Amazon, Best Buy, and Newegg alongside lab reviews from RTINGS.
* **Work through a bug in Codex.** Find relevant GitHub issues, merged pull requests, READMEs, and documentation through the Developer Index, then check the package on npm or PyPI.
* **Dig into a research topic.** Search scientific paper abstracts through the Research Index to find studies relevant to your question.

These are a few examples of what you can research with the data providers, specialized indexes, and live web available to your agent.

In our internal evaluations, agents using Alexandria scored 21% higher on answer quality than those using built-in web tools. We used the same model and prompts across 845 tasks, with blind AI judging.

### Get started

Install the [Firecrawl plugin in ChatGPT and Codex](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6a314a73f8ac819195b0d55e36b9c609) and connect your Firecrawl account. Alexandria requires authentication. If you already have the plugin connected, try it in your next conversation:

> Use Firecrawl Alexandria to find remote software engineering jobs posted in the past week. Include salaries where available and application links.

Your agent discovers relevant tools, reads their inputs and prices, and calls the ones it needs. Discovery and inspection are free; execution is billed at each tool's listed price. Web search and scraping are billed as normal. Some providers require an organization admin to accept their terms in [provider settings](/app/settings?tab=data-sources) first.
