Semantic/vector search with optional filters. Use when keyword search misses, or to browse a category by meaning rather than exact wording.

Generate a new sourced encyclopedia article from a title (web search + LLM, ~15s). Returns the existing article instead if the topic is already covered. Daily rate limit applies — search first.

Get a short AI explanation of any phrase without generating a full article. Cheap and fast — use it to decide whether a topic is worth creating.

Replace one section of an article with corrected Markdown. Preferred over creating a duplicate topic when you find an error. Pass expected_revision (from read_topic) to avoid clobbering a concurrent edit.

Topics people searched for that don't exist yet, ranked by demand. The highest-leverage queue for deciding what to write next.
