Scenario: Deep Research & Report Generation

When you provide a research topic, the agent searches the web, gathers reference data, synthesizes insights, and writes structured reports. Use this workflow for market studies, technical reviews, and competitor analysis.

---

🎯 Objectives

• Investigate complex topics systematically to produce comprehensive reports.
• Compare and analyze multiple sources to reach reliable conclusions.
• Generate structured documents with authoritative citations and data tables.

📋 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Specify Research Topics

State your research objective clearly to the agent.

Basic request:

Investigate current trends in the AI agent platform market.

Detailed request:

Investigate the commercial readiness of autonomous driving technology in 2026.
Include industry leader status, technical bottlenecks, and expected timelines.

Step 2: Define Research Scope (Optional)

Configure boundaries, research depth, and output formatting.

Define time and language boundaries:

Investigate this topic with the following constraints:
- Use sources published within the past 12 months.
- Include both English and Korean publications.
- Cite at least 5 independent authoritative sources.
- Present comparative data in tables.

Specify depth:

Investigate this topic at three distinct levels of depth:
1. Executive Overview (1 page).
2. Detailed Technical Breakdown.
3. Industry Implications and Future Outlook.

Specify report structure:

Format the findings into this structure:
- Executive Summary
- Current State Analysis
- Competitor Comparison Table
- Future Outlook
- Reference List

Step 3: Inspect Intermediate Findings

You can inspect the agent's progress during execution.

Check interim findings:

Summarize your research progress so far.
Indicate which sources provide the highest quality evidence.

Direct further exploration:

Search for news published in the past two weeks.
Find specific numerical statistics and market adoption percentages.

Step 4: Review and Refine Results

Review the generated report and request targeted adjustments.

Request specific revisions:

The report is clear. Refine these specific sections:
1. Expand the regional vendor analysis for East Asia.
2. Update key statistics with the newest available quarterly data.
3. Add actionable recommendations to the conclusion.

⚙️ Configuration Tips

Create a Research Specialist Assistant

1. Open /assistants and select New Assistant.
2. System prompt:

   You are an expert research analyst.
   Provide factual, evidence-backed conclusions and always cite primary sources.
   Mark unverified claims clearly as estimates or hypotheses.

3. Enable web search and browser sidecar tools.

Maximize Source Credibility

• Instruct the agent to cite primary sources rather than secondary aggregators.
• Request explicit confirmation of publication dates to prevent stale data.
• Instruct the agent to flag contradictions between conflicting sources.
