How do I run deep research and synthesize information from multiple web sources?

To conduct deep research and synthesize web information, you can use the research workflow to query multiple sources and generate comprehensive reports with inline citations. This automates manual literature scouting and note-taking.

Do I need an API key to extract URL content for citation verification?

Yes, extracting URL content for citation verification requires a PARALLEL_API_KEY. The Skill uses this key to authenticate requests to the Parallel Web APIs for the search, extract, and research workflows.

Can I save and organize extracted web sources with citations locally?

Yes, you can save and organize web sources with citations locally. After querying the Parallel Web client for a topic, the results can be saved directly to a local sources/ folder for later analysis.

What is the best way to verify citations using web search summaries?

The best way to verify citations is using the web search and URL extraction workflows. These features retrieve synthesized summaries with inline citations and extract specific URL content for deep analysis and verification.

Does this web search workflow support rapid knowledge gathering across different domains?

Yes, the web search workflow supports rapid knowledge gathering across domains. It is designed for all web information tasks, allowing you to quickly find, verify, and synthesize information from diverse web sources.

Can I use OpenAI with the Parallel Web research workflow?

Yes, you can use OpenAI with the Parallel Web research workflow. The Skill implementation includes OpenAI as a dependency to facilitate search, extraction, and deep multi-source research processes.
