INSIDE THE WORKFLOW

AI research agents that turn information into decisions

A useful research agent keeps the path from question to evidence visible. It breaks a broad request into criteria, collects material, checks its coverage and produces a brief that a person can inspect. The workflow here shows those handoffs without making live requests.

Where it can help

  • Supplier and tooling comparisons
  • Market and competitor research
  • Internal knowledge summaries
IN A REAL DEPLOYMENT

Research can miss sources or repeat inaccurate claims. A production workflow needs dated references, explicit uncertainty and a person responsible for the final decision.

  1. 01
    Planner

    Understand the brief

    Turn the question into a bounded research plan with explicit comparison criteria.

    Result Compare setup effort, control and ongoing maintenance.

  2. 02
    Researcher

    Gather evidence

    Collect relevant material and keep the source attached to each claim. This demo uses a fixed illustrative dataset.

    Result A shared inbox, a help desk and a custom agent workflow.

  3. 03
    Reviewer

    Check the findings

    Separate supported observations from assumptions. Flag missing pricing and workload information.

    Result Trade-offs organised; pricing requires current verification.

  4. 04
    You

    Your checkpoint

    Review the scope before the agent prepares the final brief. You can approve this example or choose another scenario.

    Result Permission to assemble the demonstration brief.

  5. 05
    Writer

    Deliver the brief

    Assemble a readable comparison with assumptions and next steps kept visible.

    Result A comparison brief ready for your evaluation.
