FAQPage Schema
How do I plan and execute structured web research across multiple sources?▼

Structured web research involves creating a research plan, delegating subtopics to subagents for data collection, and synthesizing findings with citations into a final report.

Can I automate information synthesis with citations for complex comparative analyses?▼

Yes, you can automate information synthesis by delegating subtopic research to subagents, which collect data from multiple sources and compile citation-aware reports.

What is the best way to organize web search findings into a local file?▼

Organize web search findings by creating a research_plan.md file to track subtopics, delegating collection tasks, and synthesizing the collected sources into a local report.

How do subagents help with collecting and synthesizing web research?▼

Subagents handle delegated subtopic research tasks, enabling parallel data collection across multiple sources, which is then synthesized locally into a structured report with citations.

When should I use a plan-driven approach for web research tasks?▼

Use plan-driven web research for complex topics requiring multiple sources, comparative analyses, and well-sourced findings, ensuring organized data collection and citation-backed reporting.

Does structured web research require a specific environment setup or dependencies?▼

No external dependencies are required to start structured web research; you only need to define your topic and initiate the task tool to create plans and delegate subtopic research.
