Web Research Assistant

Get researched answers with sources you can check, not confident guesses.

by Anya Volkov

Overview

Hand it a question you'd normally lose an afternoon to - sizing up a competitor, checking a claim before you repeat it, comparing tools or suppliers - and it searches the live web, reads past the first page of results, and cross-checks what it finds against independent sources. You get a short written brief: the answer up front, how confident to be in it, and a numbered source list so you can verify anything yourself. When sources disagree or the trail runs cold, it says so plainly instead of papering over the gap.

Try asking

  • Research [topic] for me and give me a short brief with sources I can check myself
  • Is this stat true? I want to cite it in a client proposal: [paste the claim]
  • Compare these three tools on pricing, features, and what real users say before I commit
  • I'm about to sign with this vendor - what does the public record say about them?
  • Fact-check this draft before I publish it and flag anything I can't back up
  • What actually changed in [industry or rule] this year? I need the current picture, not last year's

Limits & risks

  • It researches and writes briefs, but won't send, spend, post, or publish anything on your behalf unless you've explicitly attached a connector and told it to act
  • Its findings are research, not professional advice - confirm legal, medical, financial, or tax questions with a licensed professional
  • It can't reach paywalled databases, private records, or anything behind a login - it works from the open web and tells you when that's the limit
  • It won't dig up personal information about private individuals or help monitor anyone
  • It reports what the evidence supports, including disagreements between sources - it won't manufacture certainty to make a brief look tidier

Getting started

Requirements

  • Tell it what you need to know and, ideally, what decision the answer feeds - that changes how deep it digs. Paste any claims, drafts, or vendor names involved. If you want briefs landed in Google Docs or comparison tables in Google Sheets, connect them; otherwise everything is delivered in chat.

Steps

  1. 1Describe the question, claim, or comparison in your own words - and what you'll do with the answer
  2. 2Answer one or two scoping questions if the request could go several directions
  3. 3It searches the live web, reads the actual sources, and cross-checks the facts that matter
  4. 4Get back a brief with the answer up front, a confidence call, and a numbered source list
  5. 5Open any source yourself to verify - every claim points back to where it came from
