This project provides a visual AI research assistant that leverages Firecrawl for real-time web scraping and Anthropic's Claude for advanced reasoning. It aims to enhance the research process by offering transparent AI thinking, automatic citations, and a split-view interface for efficient analysis of web content.

How It Works

The system integrates Firecrawl's capabilities for accurate, up-to-date web scraping with Anthropic's Claude AI model for intelligent analysis and response generation. It visualizes the AI's reasoning process in real-time and automatically tracks sources, generating citations to ensure transparency and verifiability. The split-view interface allows users to interact with the AI while simultaneously viewing the analyzed search results.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Primary install/run command: npm install followed by npm run dev.
• Prerequisites: Node.js 18+ and npm.
• API Keys: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (required for AI functionality) and FIRECRAWL_API_KEY (optional, can be provided via UI).
• Setup involves cloning the repository, installing dependencies, and configuring API keys in a .env.local file.
• Relevant links: Anthropic Console, Firecrawl Console.
