Web Research
Use this approach for questions that require thorough web research.
When to Use
- User asks a complex factual question
- User wants a comparison or analysis of multiple sources
- User needs current information about a topic
Procedure
- Break down the query into 2-3 specific search queries
- Search each query using webSearch with
depth: "advanced" for complex topics
- Cross-reference results — look for agreement across sources
- Synthesize findings into a clear, concise answer
- Cite sources — mention where key facts came from
Guidelines
- Prefer recent sources over older ones
- Note when sources disagree
- Distinguish between facts and opinions
- If results are thin, try rephrasing the search query
- Store key findings in memory if the user might ask follow-up questions
