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

1. Break down the query into 2-3 specific search queries
2. Search each query using webSearch with depth: "advanced" for complex topics
3. Cross-reference results — look for agreement across sources
4. Synthesize findings into a clear, concise answer
5. 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
