It puts search and small custom apps in one place: narrow results by source type, or turn frequent question patterns into reusable entries. Answers carry sources and suit consolidating material. The custom part takes more learning than plain search, and first-time users tend to over-configure; start with retrieval, learn how it treats each source, then build an app. Retrieval is also offered as an API.

What it does

  • AI answers with citations
  • Narrow results by source type or scope
  • Turn recurring question flows into custom entries
  • Save results and history for later review
  • An API for external systems

Who it is for

  • You only want certain kinds of sites and no content farms
  • A recurring research question runs every week
  • Turning search results into deliverable key points
  • Adding cited retrieval to your own systems

How to get started

  1. Run one normal search and compare coverage of Chinese and English sources
  2. Set the source scope and exclude obviously noisy categories
  3. Once results are stable, save the flow as a reusable entry
