Frequently asked questions
Can AI agents access proprietary data sources?
Agents can work with data you provide — upload documents, connect databases, or point them at internal resources. They also access public web data.
How accurate is AI research?
Agents cite their sources and flag uncertainty. Set up approval gates to review findings before they're used in decision-making.
Can I get ongoing research, not just one-off reports?
Yes. Set recurring goals like 'weekly competitive monitoring' and agents produce regular deliverables on schedule.
What output formats are supported?
Agents produce structured reports, spreadsheets, slide outlines, competitive matrices, and more. All deliverables are downloadable.
