Research
Your agent guesses from stale training data; this runs live, multi-step research and returns a cited answer.
Web & Search
Answers questions with live, cited research, automatically choosing the right depth from a quick one-paragraph answer to a detailed multi-step report. Every answer comes with citations linking back to the sources. Use this when you need a current, verifiable answer rather than a guess from training data.
Use when
You need a current, source-backed answer instead of guessing from stale training data.
Not for
Pure chat or reasoning with no lookup, math or code generation, creative writing, or fetching one known URL's full content.
What you can do
Each is a sub-skill of Research; the router picks the right one for your request.
What you get back
information
Returns a synthesized answer plus the citations and source results that back it, and optionally suggested follow-up questions. Not a downloadable file.
When it checks with you first
The request could be a quick fact or a substantive briefing, and the depth materially changes the cost.
