Build a Research Agent with XRoute

The problem

LLMs hallucinate when asked about recent releases, post-cutoff benchmarks, or primary academic sources. Connecting separate SERP, scholar, and extraction vendors requires multiple API keys and billing accounts.

Prompt

Use XRoute to research whether Example Corp has shipped its v2 API as of today.
Quote the planned search and scholar calls first.
Cross-check official release notes and developer discussions.
Produce a brief with inline citations and timestamps.

APIs and Models used

Guardrails
