Detective by Charlie to Enhance, Speed Research

We took a look at early ideas like these,  look forward to trying.  Recall rhis used to be don by just running multiple searches nd combining results. We may finally be at the point where this is possible, when powered by better natural-language capabilities.  Combining internal and external knowledge.   Remembrance engines again.  See also Zakta, which I tried in this space as well.
