FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct market research with an AI assistant?▼

Start by stating your research topic and goals, such as a target market or product category. The workflow then guides you through six steps covering customer behavior, pain points, decision journeys, and competitive analysis, confirming scope with you at each stage.

What does a market research report generated by this workflow include?▼

The final document includes an executive summary, table of contents, market size and trends, customer segmentation and pain points, competitive landscape, strategic recommendations, risk assessment, and an implementation roadmap. Every claim carries a source URL citation.

Does this market research workflow require web search access?▼

Yes, web search is a hard prerequisite and the workflow aborts if it is unavailable. Every section requires live web searches to verify current facts, and relying solely on training data is explicitly forbidden.

Can I customize the market research workflow steps?▼

Yes, a customize.toml file supports prepended and appended activation steps, persistent facts loaded from project files, and an on_complete hook. Team and user-level TOML overrides merge with the defaults using structural merge rules.

Where is the market research output file saved?▼

The report is created under the planning artifacts directory as research/market-<topic-slug>-research-<date>.md, seeded from a template with frontmatter tracking completed steps. Content is appended incrementally as each workflow step is confirmed.
