# Supported Plugin System

LobeHub now supports plugins that extend what your Agents can do. Instead of being limited to built-in capabilities, Agents can now pull live data, interact with external platforms, and handle specialized workflows through community-built extensions.

## Access real-time information

Previously, conversations were limited to the knowledge cutoff of the underlying model. Now, with plugins like web search, your Agents can fetch current information—news, documentation, stock prices, or weather—right when you need it.

Use plugins to:

- Run web searches and get up-to-date answers
- Query documentation sites and technical references
- Retrieve platform data from services like Bilibili or Steam
- Generate images on demand during a conversation

## Community-powered flexibility

The plugin system is designed to grow with community contributions. Developers can build and share custom plugins that add new capabilities to any Agent. Users simply enable the plugins they need for their specific workflow.

This means your Agents become more specialized over time. A coding assistant might enable documentation search and code execution plugins. A creative assistant might use image generation and content research tools. The same underlying Agent adapts to different contexts through its enabled plugins.

## Voice options for natural interaction

Alongside plugin capabilities, LobeHub now offers quality voice synthesis options including OpenAI Audio and Microsoft Edge Speech. Choose a voice that matches your preference or scenario for more personalized interactions.
