Overview

Tools give your models additional agentic capabilities. In this section you can select tools that will be enabled for all new chats.

This is a server-side tool supported by OpenAI when using Responses API. It enables 'inline' image generation in regular text chats with newer OpenAI models like gpt-5 family. When this is enabled you can ask the model to generate an image as part of a regular text conversation. You can also keep editing the image in the same chat. Learn more about image generation with OpenAI Responses API.

Search

Geeps supports provider server-side web search with OpenAI, Anthropic and OpenRouter. When using provider web search, the API handles the search on the server and the model returns a response using those search results.

Select a default search tool to be used in new chats. You can also change this in each chat menu by clicking + and choosing Search tool.

Search tools

Geeps adds support for third party search APIs starting with Exa.ai. Exa API is the same service that powers server-side search on OpenRouter (link).

Geeps implements a local tool that is compatible with any custom provider and model. When a model needs to search the web, it uses Exa tool in Geeps and calls the search API directly from the app.

To enable Exa Search you need to register with Exa API and enter your API key. The key is stored in the keychain, just like the other keys, and is not synced with iCloud. Exa search is currently limited to Geeps Plus users.

Local tools

This section lists additional local tools that are available to use by the models. Currently limited to Geeps Plus users.

Read web page

This tool allows the model to load and read any public web page when given a URL. You can use it by pasting a link in the message, or by asking the model to load one of the search results.

This tool uses the swift-readability package, which uses the @mozilla/readability library to securely load and extract readable content from a web page.

Tip: Use a share sheet on iOS to share any URL from Safari (or any other browser) to Geeps. This will start a new conversation with the link pasted in. You can then ask the model to summarize the page or ask any questions about it.

Additional tools

Additional search services (Brave, Kagi), more local tools and MCP support will be coming in one of the next releases.
