Babbily can use search tools when a question needs current information, source links, or broader research. Use web search for focused questions that need current sources. Good examples:
  • “Search the web for the latest pricing changes from this vendor.”
  • “Find recent articles about this market and summarize the pattern.”
  • “Compare these two tools using current public information.”
Search replies can include citations so you can review the sources.

​
Deep research

Use deep research when you need more than a quick lookup. Deep research is better for broad, multi-source questions where you want a synthesized report. Good examples:
  • “Research the competitive landscape for AI meeting assistants.”
  • “Build a sourced brief on recent changes in enterprise AI procurement.”
  • “Find the strongest arguments for and against this product direction.”
Deep research can take longer than a normal chat reply.

​
Read citations carefully

Citations help you check where an answer came from. They are especially important for fast-changing topics, pricing, policies, legal details, medical topics, and investment research.
Search and research can summarize public information, but you should verify high-stakes decisions directly with authoritative sources.
