Research Ten Questions at Once
For the list of questions that would take a day of tabs. DuckyHelper opens the sources in its own browser tabs, reads them side by side, and fills one sheet with an answer and two source links for each.
“Research each question in this sheet and fill in an answer with two sources.”

Nothing to send, so it runs straight through.
Nothing in this job sends a message or pays for anything, so it works through to the end and tells you when it's done. If a step ever would, it's built to stop and ask you first.
If it hits a sign-in, you sign in yourself. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.
Before you ask it.
What do I say?
Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud, in your own words, like "Research each question in this sheet and fill in an answer with two sources."
Why is the second time faster?
The first time, it writes small JavaScript tools for Web search and Google Sheets and builds an API from each site's own buttons, forms and requests. After that it calls them directly, so the job runs in one go instead of click by click. It costs less and breaks less.
Will it send anything without me?
It's built to ask first before it sends a message or pays for anything, and to wait for your yes. It may not recognize every send or payment, so keep an eye on tasks that involve messages or money. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers: you sign in yourself, and it picks up from there.
Why not just do it by hand?
Research lists get done one question at a time, and the sources end up lost in your history.
