Discovering connections between sources that simple search misses Producing structured reports with proper citations, not just collected snippets Integrating your personal document library as a research source Cross-referencing your documents with web sources in a single research flow Easily switching between search engines including PubMed, arXiv, and SearXNG Working entirely offline with local LLMs (via Ollama)

Recent improvements:

- Better inline citation: Sources from PubMed, arXiv, Wikipedia, etc. are now properly cited directly in the text

- Improved report structure: Reports now have better organization with logical sections and clearer source attribution

- Added support for multiple research domains: Works well across scientific, historical, economic, and technical topics

- Enhanced search iterations: Now performs multiple rounds of research with follow-up questions for deeper analysis - More flexible LLM integration: Works with pretty much any model (local via Ollama or cloud-based)

- Expanded search engine options: Easy to add new sources for specialized research

For those who mentioned concerns about report quality and organization - we've made significant improvements in this area. The citation tracking now provides much better provenance information throughout the research pipeline.

I'd also like to thank HashedViking who joined as a contributor and has been improving the UI/UX side of things. We're committed to keeping this as a truly local, privacy-focused tool that doesn't rely on expensive APIs.

For anyone interested in contributing, we're looking for help with: 1. Further improving report organization 2. More local search engines and sources 3. Documentation and examples 4. UI/UX enhancements 5. Testing with different models and research domains
