jmclark-lab plugs Mike into live web search and aims it at LATAM medtech

jmclark-lab has wired the chatbot into live Google results (via SerpApi, a service that returns search results to software). Before the model answers, the fork runs a quick web search on your question and feeds the top few results, timestamped and cited, into the assistant's context. If the search key is missing or the lookup fails, it quietly skips the step rather than breaking the chat.

The telling detail sits in an early version: searches were originally triggered only for questions touching Latin American medical-device regulators and clearance pathways. That gate has since been removed, so every message now fires a search. Practically, that means a little added latency and cost on each query, and every message you send, including anything you paste in, gets shipped to a third-party search provider.
