# Ground the board in current context.

> LLM Peers can gather a live web research briefing so multi-model deliberation is grounded in current sources—not only model training data.

When web research is enabled, LLM Peers gathers external context so multi-model deliberation can reflect fresher facts, market signals, and public information—not only training cutoffs. The briefing becomes shared context for the AI Council rather than a private search chat you reconcile alone.

## What live web research provides

Web research collects a current briefing for time-sensitive questions and attaches it to the run. Models then deliberate from a common external context, which reduces the silent inventing of different worlds and makes the research trail inspectable alongside peer ranking and the decision brief.

## Why grounding matters for deliberation

Independent answers are only as useful as the world they assume. For market moves, product launches, policy changes, or vendor landscapes, live context improves the quality of competing recommendations. It does not replace verification for regulated or high-liability decisions—it improves the inputs to human judgment.

## When to enable web research

Enable it when recency matters: competitive landscape checks, pricing and feature comparisons, news-sensitive strategy, or any brief where stale training knowledge would mislead. Purely conceptual trade-offs may need less external briefing than market-timed decisions.

### Current briefing

Bring recent public information into the research room so multi-model answers can account for what changed after training data.

### Shared context for the council

Models work from a common external briefing, so differences in recommendations reflect judgment more than mismatched facts.

### Inspectable stage

Web context appears in the run timeline so you can see what informed deliberation before peer review and chairman synthesis.

### Complement to peer ranking

Fresh context improves options; anonymized review and the decision brief still compare recommendations against shared criteria.

### Is LLM Peers a search engine?

No. Live web research supplies shared context for deliberation. The product’s core is multi-model answers, anonymized peer ranking, and a chairman decision brief—not a search results page.

### Does web research guarantee every claim is correct?

No. It improves grounding with current public information. Critical claims for regulated, legal, medical, or high-liability decisions still need human verification.

### When does web research run in the flow?

When enabled, LLM Peers gathers external context as part of the staged path so the AI Council can deliberate with a shared briefing before peer review and synthesis.
