The Research Agent: Delegated Market & Competitor Intelligence

A research brief — 'competitive teardown of our five closest rivals, pricing included, with sources' — takes a human two days and a stack of subscriptions. The Research Agent runs it in 20 to 40 minutes across Perplexity, Gemini Deep Research, GPT-5 and Grok, cross-checking claims between models and delivering a report where every load-bearing claim carries a citation.

Why multi-model research beats single-model research

Every model has blind spots and every model hallucinates differently. The agent exploits that: claims made by one model are verified against live sources with Perplexity and cross-checked against Gemini's independent research pass. Claims that survive two independent checks are marked verified; claims that don't are flagged, not hidden. You get an honest report, not a confident one.
