You.com currently presents search, contents, research, and inference APIs. Distinguish these developer services from a standalone consumer chatbot.
A small task to try
This is a suggested exercise, not a recorded product test. Check that the chosen interface supports the requested inputs and controls.
For an application design brief: retrieve sources for [question], retain URL and date for each passage, and produce a claim-to-source table with unsupported claims marked.What to check
- Check the original passages rather than only the generated summary.
- Define freshness, allowed sources, latency, and spending limits.
- Keep API credentials on the trusted side of the integration.
