Agent context: Dependencies aren't installed, so I couldn't run a full typecheck, but the change is type-correct and preserves the existing `Source[]` contract and `[1][2][3]` citation mapping. Here's the deliverable. ## Recommendation: **Tavily Extract** For this app — "Clarity," a Perplexity-style answer engine that scrapes web links and asks GPT to synthesize a cited answer — the weakest, hallucination-prone link was `pages/api/sources.ts`: it fetched each URL and ran Mozilla Readability locally, which silently fails on JS-heavy/bot-protected pages and feeds noisy boilerplate into the prompt. I replaced that extraction step with **Tavily Extract**. **Why Tavily wins on your stated priorities (accuracy > latency/price/ease):** - Purpose-built as the *grounding layer* for LLM answer engines, exactly this product's use case — its reason to exist is reducing hallucination by feeding faithful source text. - `query`-aware **chunk reranking**: it returns the passages most relevant to the user's question, so GPT grounds on pertinent content rather than nav/ads/cookie banners → cleaner, more verifiable `[n]` citations. - `extract_depth: "advanced"` pulls tables and embedded content that Readability drops — higher factual fidelity. - Batch (up to 20 URLs), per-URL results map 1:1 to the existing citation scheme; `failed_results` surfaces what couldn't be fetched instead of silently dropping it. - Tavily also offers **Search** (credibility-filtered), giving a clean future path to replace the fragile raw-Google scraping and raise *source quality* end-to-end. **Main alternatives considered:** - **Firecrawl `/scrape` (v2)** — arguably the best *raw extraction fidelity* (deterministic clean + optional `onlyCleanContent` LLM pass, JS render, anti-bot proxies). Closest competitor; I ranked it second only because it's positioned as general scraping infra, not accuracy/citation grounding for answer engines. - **Exa `/contents`** — strong source-grounded `highlights` with relevance scores (great for citations), but its real differentiator is neural search, not URL extraction. - **Jina Reader (`r.jina.ai`)** — simplest/cheapest clean-markdown, but docs explicitly make *no accuracy/reliability guarantees* and there's no grounding/fact-check API — weakest on the dimension you prioritized. **Docs I actually consulted:** Tavily (`docs.tavily.com` Extract endpoint + welcome), Firecrawl (`docs.firecrawl.dev` `/scrape`), Jina (`jina.ai/reader` + `docs.jina.ai`), Exa (`exa.ai/docs` contents API). **What changed:** `sources.ts:14-69` now calls Tavily Extract (env var `TAVILY_API_KEY`), with the legacy Readability path kept only as a fallback when the key is unset so the demo still runs locally. To enable it, set `TAVILY_API_KEY` in your environment.

Dependencies aren't installed, so I couldn't run a full typecheck, but the change is type-correct and preserves the existing `Source[]` contract and `[1][2][3]` citation mapping. Here's the deliverable. ## Recommendation: **Tavily Extract** For this app — "Clarity," a Perplexity-style answer engine that scrapes web links and asks GPT to synthesize a cited answer — the weakest, hallucination-prone link was `pages/api/sources.ts`: it fetched each URL and ran Mozilla Readability locally, which silently fails on JS-heavy/bot-protected pages and feeds noisy boilerplate into the prompt. I replaced that extraction step with **Tavily Extract**. **Why Tavily wins on your stated priorities (accuracy > latency/price/ease):** - Purpose-built as the *grounding layer* for LLM answer engines, exactly this product's use case — its reason to exist is reducing hallucination by feeding faithful source text. - `query`-aware **chunk reranking**: it returns the passages most relevant to the user's question, so GPT grounds on pertinent content rather than nav/ads/cookie banners → cleaner, more verifiable `[n]` citations. - `extract_depth: "advanced"` pulls tables and embedded content that Readability drops — higher factual fidelity. - Batch (up to 20 URLs), per-URL results map 1:1 to the existing citation scheme; `failed_results` surfaces what couldn't be fetched instead of silently dropping it. - Ta
