Focal Harvest is a CLI research pipeline that automates web searching, scraping, cleaning, and summarizing into structured reports, with optional AI integration and notification support. It's interesting because it combines multiple tasks into a single command, uses a hybrid parser for content extraction, and includes zero-config offline fallback, making it accessible for developers and researchers.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers, researchers
