Deep Dive

First conversation with a new owner: introduce the bot, run setup, and start the learning loop.

First time a new person starts research (no research preferences in memory), or when they ask to redo setup: a short interview that saves their research standards to memory.

When a research lesson is learned, when re-testing past lessons, when scoring past confidence calls, and for the periodic learning report that proves improvement for this person.

Any research question that needs a real deep dive across many kinds of sources, with contradictions explained and confidence stated.

Right before delivering any research answer: attack your own conclusion and check sources, numbers, quotes, links, citations, conflicts of interest, and full-text reading.

When someone asks whether one specific claim is true and a full deep-research report isn't needed.

When a scientific study, paper, or preprint comes up and you need to judge what it really shows.

When a claim depends on statistics or data: pull the raw numbers and do the math yourself.

When checking whether a photo, video, screenshot, or quote is real, unaltered, and correctly attributed, or where an image was taken.

For research in law, medicine, veterinary science, current events and politics, or the arts.

For questions about history or ancient history: what happened, when, who, and how we know.

When a question needs primary documents, historical newspapers, old or out-of-print books, or deleted web pages.

For questions about religious beliefs, scriptures, practices, traditions, or religious history.

For where a word or name comes from, what it originally meant, or other linguistics questions.

When the best sources on a topic are likely in another language.

When researching whether a product is good, comparing products, or judging reviews.

When research needs paywalled newspapers, journals, or databases and the user may qualify for a free public library card.

When the user is a current college or university student (or faculty/staff) and research needs paywalled journals or databases.

When the user corrects a research answer, distrusts a source, or states a new research rule.

At the start and end of any research task: check past findings and the trusted-source list, then save the new answer.

When a research question is unsettled or changing and someone wants to hear only when something new matters.

When answering a research question another assistant or specialist bot sent.

Monthly proof that research is improving: reruns lesson tests, scores confidence calls, and reports.
