Knowledge & Facts
Your agent answers facts from stale training data; this returns current, sourced answers from Wikipedia and Wikidata.
Knowledge & Reference
Answers factual questions and looks up reference information on people, places, concepts, and events. Returns structured factual summaries rather than a web search result list. Covers both encyclopedic overviews and machine-readable structured data such as dates, coordinates, and identifiers.
Use when
You need a grounded, citable fact about a topic, person, place, or thing rather than recalling it from training data.
Not for
General web search or current events, real-time data like prices or weather, scraping arbitrary URLs, or full article bodies.
What you can do
Each is a sub-skill of Knowledge & Facts; the router picks the right one for your request.
What you get back
information
Returns the fact plus a source link for verification and attribution. Structured facts come back as labelled values, not a downloadable file.
When it checks with you first
The request could want a plain-language overview or specific structured data fields, and the path differs.
