Hi. The forum is currently under strict regulations, so I can’t post many links. Please search using keywords…😅  
In addition to the methods explained below, the framework called “smolagents” was recently released by HF and is proving popular. It’s probably closer to what you’re looking for.

> Hi everyone, I’m a beginner who discovered Hugging Face a few days ago and I’m really impressed by what we can do here. I was wondering if it’s possible to replicate the “domain search” feature (like in HuggingChat) for my own custom chatbots, essentially using it as a RAG approach. Is there a straightforward way to crawl or connect data from a website URL for that purpose? If so, could you please explain how or point me to any relevant tools or examples? Thanks a lot ! nyri
