Search integration is one of the highest-ROI features you can add to a QQ robot. Most “AI questions” in groups are actually retrieval problems: where is the doc, what’s the policy, what’s the latest status? When search is done right, the bot becomes the fastest path to answers.
OpenClaw is a great fit because it can combine retrieval tools with strict output policies. Deploy it on Tencent Cloud Lighthouse and you get a stable 24/7 environment that’s simple, high performance, and cost-effective.
A good search-integrated bot:
# qq-search.yaml
search:
top_k: 5
answer_style: "bullets"
must_cite: true
refuse_if_no_sources: true
Citations build trust in group chats.
Start with one doc set (FAQ or runbooks), then expand.
search intent with citations and strict refusal when no sources exist.Once search works, many other “AI features” become easier because your bot can ground answers in real content.
