Error with AI Web Research Node

Hello- when I create an AI web research node with the following prompt:
Given the competitor list and resources to pull from, compile a list of key competitive updates from each competitor over the past 24 hours. These should include product updates, funding updates, new hire updates, event updates, notable marketing moments, and pricing updates. Include the source of the information for each update.

I get the following error: ‘Something went wrong. For additional support, join the Gumloop Forum’. How can I fix?

Hey @Watermelon0711! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the run link and make sure it’s shareable so we can take a look.

  1. Find your run link on the history page. Format: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={{your_run_id}}&workbook_id={{workbook_id}}

  2. Make it shareable by clicking “Share” → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.

  3. Provide details about the issue—more context helps us troubleshoot faster.

Hey @Watermelon0711 – We’re investigating this right now, could you share your workflow link please?

I’d probably try this prompt: Given a company name and resources to pull from, compile a list of key competitive updates. These should include most recent product updates, funding updates, new hire updates, event updates, notable marketing moments. provide the source of the information for each update.

Couple issues I see with the approach you took that might cause problems.

  • have it research a single company and then loop that over a list of companies
  • Focus on things that the AI will be able to find online. For example, finding pricing updates within the last 24 hours is not something that even a human would be able to find by browsing the web.
  • don’t mention the last 24 hours. Most of the updates probably haven’t happened in the last 24 hours so the results would mostly be empty

ok good to know thank you. My goal was to create a workflow that scrapes competitive information from competitor’s websites and social accounts and sends a daily slack message to a competitive-updates channel so that is why I had originally put the ‘in the past 24 hours’

any feedback on how to best adjust the prompt based on my objective^
