# CleverBee: AI-Powered Online Data Information Synthesis Assistant
---
CleverBee is a powerful Python-based research assistant agent using Large Language Models (LLMs) like Claude and Gemini, Playwright for web browsing, and Chainlit for an interactive UI. It performs research assistance by browsing the web, extracting content (HTML), cleaning it, and synthesizing findings based on user research topics.
## Features
- **Interactive web UI** via Chainlit
- **MCP Tool Support:** Integrates external tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- **Multi-LLM Research:** Uses distinct, configurable LLMs for different tasks:
- **Primary LLM:** \`Gemini 2.5 Pro\` for planning and final report generation
- **Next Step LLM:** \`Gemini 2.5 Flash\` for analyzing research progress and deciding next actions
- **Summarizer LLM:** \`Gemini 2.0 Flash\` for intermediate web content summarization for next step planning
- **Automated Web Browsing:** Utilizes Playwright for searching the web and extracting HTML content
- **Content Processing:** Cleans HTML to Markdown before summarization
- **Integrated Token Tracking:** Monitors token usage and estimates costs for LLM calls
- ️ **Highly Configurable:** Settings managed via \`config.yaml\`
- **Modular LLM Clients:** Supports different providers (Gemini, Claude, Local GGUF via llama-cpp-python)
- **LLM Caching:** Employs \`NormalizingCache\` (SQLite-based) for improved performance and cost reduction
### What cleverb.ee is not
Cleverb.ee is not a replacement for deep domain expertise.
Despite explicit instructions and low temperature settings, AI can still hallucinate. Always check the sources.
## ️ System Compatibility
- **macOS:** Fully tested and supported, including both Intel and Apple Silicon (via Rosetta 2)
- **Linux:** Fully supported, with NVIDIA GPU detection and optimization for local models
- **Windows:** Limited support via Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
