/research gives your app or agent cited answers from the live web in one API call. Not a pre-indexed corpus: the actual live web. Every request comes back with source URL's users can verify. Source selection, synthesis, and citation formatting are all inside the call. You write or maintain none of that code. Built for legal, financial, and competitive intel, where a wrong answer is a liability. Free to try.

Could you build this?
Partial Calling a search API and feeding results to an LLM for synthesis is trivial, but real-time live-web crawling with accurate source verification and low latency across millions of arbitrary pages requires specialized web infra.
What it would actually take: Requires an orchestration layer combining distributed SERP APIs or custom search indices, ultra-fast headless HTML extractors/readers to fetch page content in parallel, and streaming LLM citation extractors. Handling JS-heavy websites, captcha challenges, and context window optimization within sub-second latencies requires dedicated backend infrastructure.
