Community Research FAQs

Question 1

What is Community Research?

Accepted Answer

Community Research is a developer tool that uncovers battle-tested solutions to coding problems directly from the programming community (Stack Overflow, Reddit, GitHub, forums), offering real fixes instead of generic documentation or AI hallucinations.

Question 2

Can Community Research understand my project context?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It includes 'Automatic Project Context Detection' that identifies languages, frameworks, and workspace information, allowing it to tailor searches and solutions more accurately to your current development environment.

Question 3

How is Community Research different from AI assistants or official documentation?

Unlike AI that can hallucinate or official docs that may lack specific workarounds, Community Research provides 'street-smart' fixes, messy workarounds, and battle-tested advice from real people who have solved your exact problems, complete with context and evidence.

Question 4

Is Community Research easy to install and use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it features a one-click installation for Windows with automatic Python setup. Its core function, `community_search()`, includes intelligent query validation to ensure specific, helpful results, rejecting vague searches.

Question 5

Does it require an API key, and which LLMs does it support?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it requires one API key (e.g., Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter), with a free Gemini tier available. It leverages various LLM providers for synthesizing clear solutions from community discussions.
