How to Do Web Research with Vox
Vox has built-in web research capabilities. Ask a question, and it searches the web, reads pages, extracts relevant information, and synthesizes a clear answer — all without you opening a browser.
Simple search
“Computer, what are the top JavaScript frameworks in 2026?”
Deep research mode
For complex topics, Vox can do multi-source research:
“Computer, research the pros and cons of server-side rendering vs client-side rendering. Check at least five sources and give me a balanced summary.”
Vox will search multiple queries, cross-reference sources, and produce a comprehensive analysis — much like a research assistant would.
Save research to files
“Computer, research lithium battery recycling companies in the US and save a summary to my documents.”
Research + action combos
Combine web research with other tools for powerful workflows:
“Computer, look up the current weather in Tokyo and include it in an email to Yuki about our trip next week.”
“Computer, find the latest pricing for AWS Lambda, compare it with Google Cloud Functions, and save a comparison document.”
“Computer, research how to fix the CORS error I just got and explain it to me.”
What Vox accesses
Vox uses real-time web search and can read public web pages. It does not access paywalled content, login-protected pages, or private databases. All web requests go through Vox's server — your IP address is not exposed to the sites being searched.
Research in background agents
For longer research tasks, use background processing:
“Computer, in the background, research the top 20 SaaS companies by revenue in 2025 and create a detailed report with sources.”
This runs asynchronously while you continue working. The completed report appears in your activity feed.
Web research in Vox means you never have to context-switch to a browser, open tabs, or skim through results. Ask a question, get an answer.
