Available Models

  • gemini-search — Google Gemini with web search grounding (default)
  • perplexity-fast — Perplexity AI, faster (default)
  • perplexity — Perplexity AI
  • nomnom — NomNom search model

By default, queries both gemini-search and perplexity-fast in parallel.

Authentication

Set an API key in an environment variable (preferred):

bash
export POLLINATIONS_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY"

Or create a local .env file at .claude/skills/web-research/.env:

bash
POLLINATIONS_API_KEY="YOUR_KEY"

If POLLINATIONS_API_KEY is not set, the script will prompt for a key (input hidden).

Quick usage

bash
.claude/skills/web-research/scripts/web-research.sh "What is pollinations.ai?"

Choose a model:

bash
.claude/skills/web-research/scripts/web-research.sh --model perplexity-fast "Fact-check this claim with sources"

Compare multiple models:

bash
.claude/skills/web-research/scripts/web-research.sh --models gemini-search,perplexity-fast,nomnom "Compare answers"

Run multi-model in parallel:

bash
.claude/skills/web-research/scripts/web-research.sh --models gemini-search,perplexity-fast --parallel "Compare answers"
