Research tools & permissions

Enable research tools in Research and Talk

This switch is off by default and saves when you change it. Turning it on permits web searches, public page summaries, video caption summaries, utilities and research jobs. Questions and selected source text may be sent to the configured AI services.

Turning it off blocks new external calls. Work already started may still finish. Results stay separate from your notes until you choose Save.

Choose the right research tool

Web search / Question

Ask an outside-information question. Open the source links to check the answer.

Page summary / Public HTTPS page URL

Summarise a public page. Add Summary focus to say what you want to learn; private or inaccessible pages may not be readable.

Video captions summary

Summarises captions rather than watching every visual detail. Public YouTube captions are fetched when available. Paste captions, WebVTT or SRT as a fallback for unavailable tracks or Vimeo.

Caption language

An optional caption preference, such as en, th or en-US.

Longer research

Add up to two extra focus questions, one per line. The job can run up to three searches and a comparison, with saved progress.

Cancel job

Stops future work. A provider call already running may still finish.

Calculator and time zones

Use the separate utility fields for calculations and time-zone conversions.
