Google is so powerful that it "hides" other search systems from us. We just don't know the existence of most of them.
Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information.
Here's a list of sites you may have never heard of!

6/ Chain 6: The Quality Checker (Final Step - Always Run This)
"Review everything we've discussed in this conversation. Now quality-check our work:
1. What biases might exist in our analysis? (Confirmation bias, recency bias, etc.)
2. What counterarguments haven't we fully considered?
3. Rate the confidence level of each major claim (High/Medium/Low)
4. What would make this analysis stronger?
5. If an expert criticized our conclusions, what would they say?
Be brutally honest. Poke holes in our own work."
This saved me from publishing garbage analysis at least 6 times.
5/ Chain 5: The Synthesis Engine (Run After Chain 4)
"We've built foundation, explored perspectives, identified gaps, and done deep research. Now synthesize everything:
1. What are the 3 most important insights from our entire conversation?
2. How do all the pieces connect? Draw the big picture.
3. What would I be confident saying is true vs. what's still uncertain?
4. If I had to explain this to someone in 2 minutes, what would I say?
5. What's my action plan based on everything we've learned?
Create a clear, actionable summary of our entire chain."
This turns 5 fragmented outputs into one coherent intelligence brief.
4/ Chain 4: The Deep Dive Researcher (Run After Chain 3)
"Take the gaps we identified. For each gap, help me research deeper:
1. What would an expert study or investigate to fill this gap?
2. What methodologies or frameworks apply here?
3. What real-world examples or case studies exist?
4. What are the leading theories or models that address this?
5. Create a research roadmap: What should I explore first, second, third?
Give me a structured deep-dive plan with specific next steps."
Now you're doing PhD-level research in minutes, not months.
3/ Chain 3: The Gap Identifier (Run After Chain 2)
"Looking at those 5 perspectives we just explored, now identify:
1. What critical information is missing from ALL perspectives?
2. What assumptions are they making that could be wrong?
3. What questions remain unanswered?
4. What data would we need to validate or reject each viewpoint?
5. Where do the perspectives contradict each other - and why?
Highlight the gaps in our current understanding."
This is where basic ChatGPT users stop. You're just getting started.
2/ Chain 2: The Perspective Multiplier (Run After Chain 1)
"Based on the foundation we just built, analyze [specific question about topic] from these 5 perspectives:
1. A skeptic who thinks this won't work
2. An expert practitioner with 10+ years experience
3. A beginner encountering this for the first time
4. Someone who tried and failed at this
5. A researcher looking at data, not opinions
For each perspective, give me their strongest argument and evidence."
Suddenly you're not getting one answer. You're getting 5 expert panels worth of insights.
1/ Chain 1: The Foundation Builder (Always Start Here)
"I need to research [topic]. Before we dive in, help me build a solid foundation:
1. What are the 5 core concepts I must understand first?
2. What common misconceptions exist about this topic?
3. What's the current expert consensus vs. emerging debates?
4. What questions should I be asking that I'm not?
Give me a structured overview that prevents surface-level understanding."
This sets the context for everything that follows. Skip this and your chain breaks.
