Research Lookup
Look up current research using intelligent API routing for real-time findings
What You Can Do
You can retrieve current research findings, locate academic papers, verify scientific claims against peer-reviewed sources, and gather citations with inline source attribution. The skill intelligently routes your queries to the best backend—using Parallel Chat API for comprehensive research reports and Perplexity's sonar-pro-search for specialized academic database access, ensuring you get the most authoritative information for your specific research need.
Features
