The Research Agent operates autonomously — it plans its own research strategy, searches across sources, extracts what's relevant, and maps it all on a visual canvas. No manual steps required.

01

All findings are mapped visually on your canvas — connected, organised, and source-cited. Ready to explore or export.

More than a search.
An autonomous research assistant.

The Research Agent doesn't just find information — it understands the topic, evaluates what's relevant, builds connections between ideas, and produces structured, usable output.

🧭
Plans its own research

Given a topic, the agent decides which angles to investigate, what questions to answer, and how to structure the research — without being told.

🔍
Multi-source search

Searches across encyclopedias, academic references, and knowledge bases to find reliable, relevant information on every angle.

🔗
Builds connections

Identifies relationships between different ideas, causes, events, and concepts — surfacing connections you might not have found manually.

📍
Cites every source

Every piece of information in your canvas is traced back to its source — so you can verify, read further, or cite confidently.

🗺

questions.

What exactly does the Research Agent do?+

The Research Agent is an autonomous AI that researches any topic you give it. It plans its own research strategy, searches across multiple sources, extracts and synthesises relevant information, identifies connections between ideas, and maps everything onto a visual canvas — without you having to manually guide each step.

Where does the agent get its information?+

The agent draws from encyclopedias, academic references, and curated knowledge bases. It evaluates sources for reliability and relevance before including them, and cites every claim it makes so you can verify the source and read further if needed.

How long does a research session take?+

Most research sessions complete in 1–3 minutes depending on the breadth of the topic. You can watch the agent work in real time — see it plan its approach, search sources, extract information, and build the canvas live. More complex or broad topics may take slightly longer.

How is this different from asking ChatGPT?+

ChatGPT generates text from training data without citing specific sources. The Research Agent actively searches live sources, cites every claim with a reference, and outputs a structured visual canvas — not a wall of text. It also autonomously plans its own research approach rather than just answering a single flat question.

Can I add my own notes to the research canvas?+

Yes. The canvas is fully editable after the agent finishes. Add your own notes, draw new connections, expand any branch manually, delete irrelevant nodes, or ask the agent follow-up questions on any specific area of the map. You're always in control.

Can the agent research from my own notes and PDFs?+

Yes. Give the agent a topic plus your own uploaded notes or PDFs and it will incorporate your material alongside its external research — clearly distinguishing which information came from your documents versus external sources. This is especially powerful for essay preparation.

How many Research Agent sessions can I run for free?+

The free plan includes 2 Research Agent sessions per month. Pro users get unlimited sessions. Upgrade anytime from your account settings.
