Web Search Integration

HelseCLI enables the AI assistant to perform autonomous web-based research to retrieve contemporary data, technical documentation, and scientific research findings.

Configuration Requirements

To leverage web research capabilities, at least one search provider credential must be configured within the .env file:

• TAVILY_API_KEY: (Recommended) Optimized specifically for AI agentic retrieval.
• BRAVE_API_KEY: Provides privacy-centric search results.
• SERPER_API_KEY: High-fidelity Google Search abstraction.

Operationalization

1. Code Mode Implementation

Web search is exposed as a functional tool within Code Mode. The assistant can be instructed to perform targeted queries: "Retrieve the latest technical specifications for Python 3.12 release cycles."

2. Document Mode Implementation

Users are prompted to enable research integration during the document configuration phase. This is critical for academic synthesis and technical benchmarking.

3. Command Line Interface

python helsecli.py chat --websearch
python helsecli.py document --websearch --objective "Scientific Analysis Topic"

Integrated Research Modules

HelseCLI implements a multi-stage retrieval architecture:

1. web_search: Retrieves a prioritized list of relevant URIs and metadata snippets.
2. read_url: Performs deep-content extraction, converting remote HTML into structured Markdown for system analysis.
3. browser_query: Utilizes headless browser automation to interact with dynamic or state-heavy web interfaces.

Strategic Use Cases

• Technical Reference Retrieval: Accessing the latest API specifications for nascent libraries or frameworks.
• Data Validation: Verifying statistical markers or chronological data during document synthesis.
• Problem Resolution: Searching for documented solutions to specific system regressions via developer community platforms.
• Scholarly Referencing: Locating primary source materials and persistent identifiers for academic citations.

Privacy and Data Integrity

HelseCLI performs local synthesis of retrieved search data. Conversation telemetry is only transmitted to search providers when necessary to construct technical search queries.
