Build a Content Research Agent
Research that used to take days, done in minutes. An AI agent that takes a topic, researches it across multiple sources, fact-checks claims, and delivers a comprehensive brief with citations ready for writing.
The Problem
Creating well-researched content requires hours of reading, synthesizing, and fact-checking. Writers spend more time researching than writing.
What You'll Build
An AI agent that takes a topic, researches it across multiple sources, fact-checks claims, and delivers a comprehensive brief with citations ready for writing.
How It Works
Give the agent a topic and target audience. It searches academic papers, news articles, expert blogs, and social discussions. Returns a structured brief with key points, statistics (with sources), expert quotes, and potential angles. Writers go straight to drafting.
Research that took hours now takes minutes
