How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats retries blocked or failed pages; runs once per each source page found; it retries when a step fails.

Pattern: Structured Loop (21) ยท Multiple Instances without Synchronization (12)

The problem it solves

Researching a topic properly means searching the web, opening a dozen tabs, reading through pages, and pulling together your own notes into something useful. That process eats hours you do not have, and pages that block scraping or require logins slow you down even further. You end up with a pile of open tabs and no finished summary to show for it.

Who it fits

Anyone who regularly needs research summaries, such as marketers, analysts, or consultants, without doing the manual digging.

How it works

  1. You submit a topic and recipient email through a form
  2. The system searches the web and gathers relevant pages
  3. Each page is scraped, and unusable or blocked pages are automatically retried
  4. AI reads all the sources and writes a structured report
  5. The finished report is emailed to you as a formatted document
What you get

Research reports you don't have to compile yourself

You get a fully written, well-organized research report on any topic emailed directly to you, ready to read and share.

What you get

A structured executive report with key findings and sources, delivered by email.

What you need

A web search API account, a web scraping service, an Anthropic Claude API key, and a Gmail account.

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.
