How does the Web Research skill evaluate source authority?

The skill uses an agentic workflow to assess the credibility of domains, check for consensus across multiple sites, and prioritize official documentation or reputable community hubs.

How is this different from a standard search engine?

Unlike a search engine that returns a list of links, this skill explores those links, tests hypotheses, and provides a cohesive answer based on the most relevant data found.

Can I use this for technical troubleshooting?

Yes, it is specifically designed to find recent bug reports, stack overflow threads, and documentation updates that may have been published after the AI's last training cutoff.

Can I direct the agent to specific websites?

While the agent operates autonomously to find the best information, it focuses its search based on the specific topic and context provided in your request.

Does it provide links to the sources it finds?

Yes, the agent tracks every source used during the research process and provides a synthesized summary with references for verification.
