Web research
Live web searches, shared links, source checking, and cited answers.
Half the questions that come up in a chat can't be answered from the chat. Someone sends a link you don't have time to open, a price needs checking, a claim needs verifying. Perisclaw goes and looks, searching the live web or reading the exact page you point it at, and comes back with the answer in the conversation you're already in.
What you can do with it
Get answers from the live web
When you need something current (a price, a news story, a fact, the status of a flight or an event), Perisclaw searches and answers right in the chat, citing where it got each part. It pulls what's true today, not what a model was trained on months ago.
Read and summarize any link
Send a URL (or point at one someone else sent) and Perisclaw fetches the page and gives you back the gist, or just the one answer you're after. Useful for the long article you saved, the terms page you should have read, the doc a client linked in a thread.
Research and compare
For a decision that needs a few sources pulled together, Perisclaw does the legwork: gathering the options, comparing them, and coming back with one clear answer instead of a pile of tabs.
Feed research into other work
A lookup is rarely the whole job. Perisclaw can take what it finds and keep going: logging the numbers into a Sheet, folding them into a message it's drafting, or using them inside an automation that runs every morning.
