SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you run web search, extraction, deep research, enrichment, entity discovery, and monitoring workflows in a terminal-first, agent-friendly way, so you can move from question to structured results faster.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agent-native web search + structured results: Use JSON-first outputs for reliable downstream summarization and extraction.
  • Extraction for clean content: Pull relevant page content or full-page text/markdown from URLs for targeted investigation.
  • Deep research and long-running jobs: Launch async research runs, then poll status and results with context chaining for follow-ups.
  • Enrichment and FindAll: Enrich tabular inputs and discover entity sets (datasets) instead of just one-off answers.
  • Monitoring: Create recurring change-detection workflows and retrieve events over time.

Quick Start

Ask the system to run a parallel-cli JSON search and return only the citations it provides for your question about the latest funding for Anthropic.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate web search to return structured JSON outputs?

To automate web search for structured JSON outputs, you can use a terminal-first CLI tool that executes searches asynchronously and returns machine-readable data. This allows reliable downstream extraction and summarization without interactive manual parsing.

What is the best way to enrich tabular data with web-discovered information?

The best way to enrich tabular data is by using an automated extraction workflow that processes tabular inputs and discovers entity sets. This approach moves beyond one-off answers, allowing you to append web-sourced details directly to existing datasets.

How do I run async web research jobs and poll for results later?

You can run async web research jobs by launching a long-running research run via a non-interactive CLI, then polling its status and retrieving results later. This supports context chaining, enabling follow-up queries to reuse prior interaction IDs.

Can I extract clean content and full-page markdown directly from URLs?

Yes, you can extract clean content and full-page markdown directly from URLs. An agent-native extraction workflow pulls relevant page content or full-page text, providing targeted investigation material formatted for immediate downstream use.

Does parallel web research work for recurring change-detection monitoring?

Parallel web research supports recurring change-detection monitoring by creating async workflows that track changes over time. You can retrieve events periodically, making it suitable for long-running monitoring jobs without continuous manual intervention.

Do I need a terminal environment to automate deep research workflows?

Yes, you need a terminal environment because deep research workflows require JSON-first, non-interactive CLI execution. This agent-friendly setup ensures reliable automation, async run control, and citation discipline limited strictly to returned URLs.
