At the Baidu "Lobster" strategy panoramic conference, Baidu Group Executive Vice President and President of Baidu Intelligent Cloud Business Group Shen Dou stated that search capability is a crucial infrastructure for the implementation of AI Agents like OpenClaw. Baidu's search Skill has become a "must-install" component for setting up such agents. According to data from OpenClaw's official skill store, ClawHub, downloads of Baidu's search Skill have surpassed 45,000, maintaining rapid growth compared to the previous week and securing its position as the top-downloaded official search engine skill plugin globally on the ClawHub platform.
When performing tasks, OpenClaw requires internet access to obtain real-time information and accurate data. Search Skills function as an online, continuously updated "encyclopedia," equipping the Agent with "eyes" to connect to the real world and a "hippocampus" for retrieving memories. It is reported that Baidu's search Skill is specifically designed to provide generative AI with real-time information retrieval services across the entire web. It features extensive site coverage and deep content understanding in the Chinese domain. Maintained by Baidu and compliant with domestic data security regulations, it can also seamlessly integrate with other official ecosystem Skills such as Baidu Baike and Baidu Scholar, delivering highly authoritative, timely, and accurate search results, thereby further enhancing the user experience in developing and managing AI agents.
