I Installed This AI Search Skill and Never Manual-Searched Again — Saving 2 Hours Every Day

Published on: 2026-07-20

Let's start with a number you probably haven't thought about: you likely spend over 2 hours every day just searching for things.

I'm not exaggerating. Price comparison means switching between three tabs — JD, Taobao, Pinduoduo. Researching something means bouncing between Baidu, Zhihu, and WeChat public accounts. Staying on top of industry news means checking a dozen websites daily, worried you'll miss something. Then comes the manual work — copy-pasting into Excel or Word, categorizing, sorting, highlighting. Half a day gone.

The absurd part: information you spent two hours digging up is often less accurate than what an AI can find in two minutes. It's not that you're bad at searching. The fundamental problem is that search engines haven't changed their core logic since 1998 — you type keywords, they give you links, you do the rest. In 2026, when AI agents can already write code, make presentations, and manage emails for you, "you do the rest" is the biggest time sink.

The tool I'm talking about is AnySearch, launched in May 2026. Put simply: a search engine purpose-built for AI agents. Plug it into your Kaihe AIBOX, and it becomes your 24/7 search assistant. Price comparisons, research, news monitoring, report generation — you tell it what you need, it searches, compares, and compiles everything into a structured document sent to your WeChat. All you do is send one message.

What Exactly Is AnySearch

📖 Glossary

AI Box (also known as Agent Computer / Agent PC), is a dedicated local hardware device that runs AI Agents. Pre-installed with an AI agent management system, plug-and-play, running 24/7. Users can remotely command AI to work via Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, and more.

AnySearch is not just another search engine. It's a search middleware built for AI agents.

Traditional search engines can only access about 20% of the internet's surface information — public web pages, news, encyclopedias. Where does the other 80% of high-value information hide? Vertical databases, code repositories, financial data platforms, industry research libraries, e-commerce backends — places Google and Baidu can't reach because those sources don't publish public indexes.

AnySearch bridges that 80%. It built its own indexing system that vertically penetrates data sources across finance, code, e-commerce, academia, and news, pulling all information (surface and deep) to the AI through a unified API. The output is structured Markdown data, not a bunch of link titles and snippets you have to click through yourself.

In its first week, it hit #1 on Skills.sh trending. Then it topped Product Hunt. Within its first month, 100,000 developers integrated it, with cumulative search calls exceeding 4 million. In a benchmark of 300 questions spanning Frames, FreshQA, and WebwalkerQA, using the same LLM throughout, AnySearch scored 76.4% comprehensive accuracy, beating Parallel and Brave Search, with the lowest latency among all three.

The key distinction: this is an engine designed for "AI searches on your behalf," not a tool that "helps organize your search results." Big difference — in the first case the AI receives structured data and makes decisions directly; in the second, the AI is just a middleman.

What Happens When You Put It in a Kaihe AIBOX

AnySearch itself is an OpenClaw skill package — you can use it standalone, but you'll need to set up the OpenClaw environment, configure APIs, and set triggers. That's a significant barrier for the average person.

But put it in a Kaihe AIBOX and that barrier disappears. Kaihe is standalone AI hardware — no computer required, no environment configuration. Plug it in, connect to the network, install skills with one click. The only thing you need to do is tell it what to search for via WeChat.

Let me walk you through some real scenarios so you can see why this saves two hours every day.

Full-Network Price Comparison Before Buying

The normal person's process for buying a big-ticket item — phone, monitor, appliance — goes like this: search JD, search Taobao, search Pinduoduo, maybe check SMZDM for reviews. Then manually record model numbers, prices, and promotions to compare. Minimum half an hour. And you often get sidetracked by recommendation algorithms — twenty minutes later you're looking at content that has nothing to do with price comparison.

With AnySearch installed in Kaihe, you just send one message: "Compare real-time prices for iPhone 17 Pro 256GB across JD, Taobao, and Pinduoduo, including coupons and installment options."

It searches all three platforms simultaneously, extracts prices, promotions, shipping times, and installment info, then compiles it into a comparison table sent to your WeChat. The whole process takes about tens of seconds. You don't even need to open a browser.

Deep Research and Information Gathering

You want to write an industry report, prepare competitive analysis, or just deeply understand a field. The old way: Baidu search keywords → click through a dozen links → judge information quality → copy useful content → organize into notes → search the next dimension → repeat.

AnySearch handles this in one pass. Give it a clear search instruction like "Collect information on funding rounds, key players, product matrices, and user growth data for China's AI agent sector in H1 2026, compile into a research report, and cite sources." It penetrates news, research reports, databases, and company registries across multiple data layers within minutes and delivers a structured report.

Crucial detail: the output is structured Markdown, not a bunch of links for you to click. The information is already categorized, deduplicated, and prioritized. What you receive is immediately usable, no secondary processing needed.

Continuous Monitoring with Automatic Alerts

This is the real time-saver. Price comparison and research are still "you ask, it searches" scenarios. But AnySearch paired with Kaihe AIBOX's scheduled task capabilities enables passive monitoring — let it watch by itself and only notify you when something changes.

Say you run a small shop and want AI to monitor three competitors' Taobao stores daily for new products, price changes, or promotion updates. Previously you'd manually check every day. Now you set a scheduled task — it automatically searches at fixed times and pushes changes to your WeChat. No changes, no interruption.

Or say you trade stocks and want AI to compile a daily pre-market US stock briefing every morning. Instead of crawling out of bed to check Bloomberg, you wake up, glance at WeChat, and the summary's already there.

These scenarios all share the same logic: searching shouldn't be your job — it should be the AI's job. You define what you're looking for; you don't need to find it yourself.

Why This Has to Run on Kaihe AIBOX

You might be thinking: isn't AnySearch just a skill package? Can't I install it on my computer?

Technically yes. But realistically you won't. Three reasons.

Your computer isn't on 24 hours a day. AnySearch's greatest value is searching when you're not available — while you're sleeping, in a meeting, traveling. These scenarios require the execution endpoint to be always online. A computer can't do that.

Environment setup will break your will. Installing an OpenClaw skill package is not one click — you need to set up the OpenClaw environment, configure APIs, adjust Gateway routing, resolve dependency conflicts. Every step can fail, and every failure can make you give up. Kaihe AIBOX comes with the full OpenClaw runtime pre-installed. One-click install from the skill marketplace. Professional equipment for professional tasks — don't fight with your computer.

The data. Everything you search with AnySearch — price history, research reports, monitoring logs — if stored on your C drive, a system reinstall or computer swap wipes it all. Kaihe is independent hardware with its own storage and operating system. Your computer crashes, the data stays untouched. A year of price comparison records, six months of industry monitoring data, all resting safely inside.

And one Kaihe serves the whole household. You use it for shopping comparisons, your partner uses it for travel itinerary research, the elderly use it to check daily grocery prices — each person gets an independent agent, zero interference. You can't do that with OpenClaw on a computer.

Something You Might Not Have Realized

Searching is transitioning from a human skill to an AI skill.

I've spent fifteen years in content operations and I've watched countless people pour massive amounts of time into searching without even realizing it. You think "I'll just search real quick," but search ten times a day at ten-plus minutes each, that's two to three hours. A month — fifty to sixty hours. A year — seven to eight hundred hours. Time that could have been spent on things that matter more.

Tools like AnySearch mark a turning point: searching is no longer your job. It's the AI's job. Your role shifts from "the person who executes searches" to "the person who defines search objectives." You only need to determine what you need to know; you no longer need to figure out how to find it.

But this shift needs a physical carrier. AI is software, and software needs hardware to run on. Install AnySearch on your computer, and it dies when the computer shuts down. Kaihe AIBOX is a standalone device that never turns off. You sleep, it searches. You wake up, the report's already in your WeChat. A few hundred bucks doesn't buy you a little box — it buys you two extra hours every single day.
