Research

Gather, synthesize, and analyze information from across the web with AI-powered research tools.

Overview

Iris provides a comprehensive research toolkit that combines real-time web search, image discovery, browser automation, and academic paper retrieval into a single conversational interface. Instead of switching between dozens of tabs, describe what you need and let Iris assemble a structured, source-cited research brief in seconds.

Web Search

Iris performs real-time web searches and returns concise, relevant results. Every response includes source URLs so you can verify claims and dive deeper on your own.

Real-time results — queries hit live search indices, not a static snapshot.
Source citations — every fact is linked back to its origin.
Multi-query synthesis — Iris can run several searches and merge findings into one coherent summary.

Image Search

Need visual references? Iris can search the web for images related to your topic and return high-quality results with attribution. This is especially useful for mood boards, competitive analysis, and visual research.

Browser Automation

When search results are not enough, Iris can navigate directly to websites, extract structured data from pages, and follow links to gather deeper context. This is ideal for scraping product pages, reading documentation, or pulling data from sites that do not expose a public API.

💡 Pro Tip: Provide a direct URL when you already know where the information lives. Iris will navigate there immediately instead of searching first.

Academic Papers

Iris integrates with arXiv and PubMed to surface peer-reviewed research. Ask for papers on a topic and receive titles, abstracts, authors, and direct links to the full texts.

Example Prompts

"Research the latest trends in edge computing for 2026. Include market size, key players, and recent breakthroughs."

"Find recent arXiv papers on transformer efficiency improvements published in the last 6 months and summarize the top 5."

"Go to openai.com/pricing and extract the current pricing for GPT-4o, then compare it with Anthropic's Claude pricing."

Best Practices

Be specific — include dates, regions, or domains to narrow results.
Request sources — ask Iris to cite every claim so you can fact-check efficiently.
Iterate — start broad, then follow up with targeted questions to drill into details.
Combine tools — pair web search with browser automation for maximum coverage.
