I browsed the GitHub and website for a bit, but didn’t see any examples! It would be useful to share the output for a common question that can be substantiated with reliable sources, like “Is coffee good for me?”. Even better if you can show a comparison to other deep research tools. From the copy it seems like Cleverbee could pull from more diverse sources (e.g. YouTube) and fewer unreliable sources (e.g. product blogs). Show that off!

Good spot! I already am on the case with that one.

The Rush University website takes a long time to load (check it out), and the script recognized the article had loaded but something on the website was causing it to hang (waiting for networkidle status) so it terminated the parsing early and worked with the content it had.

So in a nutshell, it still parsed but with a warning/error that this happened.

I'm optimizing this now to exclude the wording from the report, or make a note.

Fixed, and pushed to the repo.

If it hits a timeout but the content is still there, it will now return the content (without the error message) to ensure something small like this doesn't get synthesized.

That's the thing about sytnthesizing and I feel one of the strengths of this system, is the LLM doesn't put too much of it's own "creativity" (which usually comes with hallucination) on to the top of the findings!

TL;DR: Fixed.

Leslie, I typed your symptoms into the thing up here, and it says you could have network connectivity problems.

I think that's a very good idea, thanks!

I'm actually working on "The Beehive" at the moment, where the app can push the research to a hive on the website, so people can share their research/discoveries.

My client's paid work takes priority, but I hope to do it over the course of this week.

P.s. Running report now for you, "Is coffee good for me?" to show you this example ;)
