Research any topic automatically with AI web search and summaries

Searches the web for your topic, pulls the best sources, and returns an AI-written summary in chat.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each top search result.

Pattern: Multiple Instances with a priori Run-Time Knowledge (14)

The problem it solves

Researching a topic online means opening a dozen tabs, skimming each one, and trying to pull the useful bits together yourself. It's slow, and it's easy to miss the most relevant sources buried further down the search results.

Who it fits

Anyone who needs quick, sourced answers to research questions without manual searching.

How it works

  1. You ask a research question in chat
  2. The system searches the web for relevant sources
  3. It extracts the content from the top results
  4. AI summarizes the findings and replies in the chat
What you get

Sourced answers you get without searching yourself

You get a sourced summary of your question pulled straight from the web, delivered right in your chat window.

What you get

A markdown-formatted summary of your research question, pulled from real web sources.

What you need

A Tavily API key and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
