• research.answer

  Answers one open research question from the live web in at most 80 words with up to 3 source URLs, returned as {answer, sources}, usually in 4 to 9 seconds. Use it for a synthesized answer; use web.search for raw links or research.factcheck to verify a claim. Name the people…

• research.factcheck

  Checks one factual claim against the live web and returns {verdict, explanation, sources}, where verdict is supported, contradicted or unclear, usually in 4 to 9 seconds. Write the claim as a plain statement such as 'The Eiffel Tower is in Berlin' and split a compound claim into…

• page.summarize

  Condenses one public web page into an 80-word summary with up to 4 key points, returned as {url, summary, key_points}, usually in 3 to 6 seconds. The page is fetched live, so the summary reflects it now; pages behind a login or paywall may return little. Pass the address of the…

• web.search

  Runs a web search and returns ranked results as {query, results: [{title, url, snippet}]}. Use it for raw links to read yourself; use research.answer for a written answer. Plain phrases work as well as keywords; since and until (YYYY-MM-DD) limit results to a publish-date range…

  Returns the main text of one public web page as clean markdown, unchanged and not summarized, up to 8,000 characters, as {url, markdown, truncated}, usually in 2 to 5 seconds. Pass the address of the specific page, not a site's home page; pages that need a login cannot be read…

• web.news

  Returns recent news on one topic, person, company or event as {query, window_days, summary, developments: [{headline, date, source}]}: a summary of about 50 words and up to 4 dated developments, newest first, usually in 3 to 7 seconds. A short topic or name works better than a…

• research.market

  Builds an evidence brief for a prediction-market question (Kalshi, Polymarket or similar) from the live web: {question, as_of, summary, evidence_for, evidence_against, key_dates, resolution_notes, sources}, usually in 5 to 8 seconds. Pass the question as the market words it…

• research.company

  Returns a short sourced brief on one company as {company, summary, what_it_does, facts, recent, sources}, usually in 5 to 8 seconds. Pass a website address such as stripe.com to avoid name clashes; a bare name resolves to the best-known company with that name and the summary…
