accessing web sources for text generation

Posted on by 120

I have a prompt to generate a summary of an organization's mission, impact, etc using both the organization's website and third-party sites as sources.  It works quite well in a browser using Copilot. I'd like to automate the process into a PA cloud flow. When I test the custom prompt in Create Text with GPT (AI Hub>AI Prompts test bed) the response says it is "unable to review specific websites or third-party sites" and gives me a few generic paragraphs. 

 

Is this user error -- using the wrong approach? Or not possible via AI Builder/cloud flow and I should build a desktop flow that uses a browser?

 

thx

    Hi,


    The prompt feature in Power Automate doesn't allow to get information from websites at the moment. It relies on Azure OpenAI GPT 3.5 which is not plugged to internet search, contrary to Copilot web.

     

    In Power Automate you need to first get the information from the site and pass it to the prompt action? This could be done via RSS feed if any or possibly using a desktop flow to get visual information from a web page.

    @Antrod thanks for confirming. The prompt I use gathers info from several sites, so getting the text within a cloud flow is impractical. I'll explore using a desktop flow.

    Two years on, do we know if there is any update to this behaviour? Are prompts within power automate still not given access to web search?
