Research the web.
Skip the tabs.
Focal Harvest automates the manual workflow of querying search engines, scraping target pages, and synthesizing findings — with a zero-config offline fallback for keyless environments.
Research Pipeline
Turn 20 browser tabs into one command.
Query search engines, scrape and clean target pages in parallel, and synthesize findings into a structured Markdown report — with multi-LLM failover across Gemini, OpenAI, and Claude.
OSINT Collection
