What it is

Asks an AI to find answers or data for you from the internet or your own computer files.

Real use case example

"A founder named Emma wants to understand a new market trend. She asks the AI to search across academic papers and news articles. After answering a few prompts, the AI gives Emma a concise summary of the trend and the most relevant supporting data. Emma can now use this information to inform her business strategy."

When to use it

•You need to conduct research on sensitive or private documents without relying on cloud services
•You want to utilize multiple search engines and databases, including local and cloud-based LLMs, in one platform
•You require a high level of encryption and security for your research data and results

Ready-to-paste prompt

python app.py --query 'climate change mitigation' --search-engines arXiv,PubMed --private-docs /path/to/private/documents

Heads up: Make sure you have the necessary dependencies, including Python 3.8 or later and a compatible GPU, as the tool relies on GPU acceleration for optimal performance
