- In short
- Choosing among Research Mode, Chat web search, and Artifacts turns on the task pattern. A quick fact check or single current data point is a web-search-in-Chat task. A question that requires synthesis across many sources before the answer can be trusted is a Research Mode task. When the output itself is the deliverable the recipient will open and read, it belongs in an Artifact. Reaching for a heavier tool than the task needs wastes time without improving quality.
