The problem it solves

Deep research on a topic means hours of searching, reading, and synthesizing information from dozens of sources before you have anything useful to show. Most teams don't have that kind of time to spare for every question that comes up.

Who it fits

Teams and business owners who need thorough research reports without hiring an analyst.

How it works

  1. You submit a research question and choose how deep to go
  2. A blank report page is created to hold the results
  3. The system searches the web and scrapes relevant pages, repeating the process to go deeper
  4. AI reviews everything it found and reasons through the findings
  5. A complete, written report is generated and saved to your document page
What you get

Research reports you didn't have to write yourself

You get a thorough, sourced report on any research question, compiled and saved to a document automatically.

What you get

A written research report, compiled from multiple web sources, saved to a shared document.

What you need

A web search and scraping API account, a document workspace, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
