Research Synthesis

The Problem

Important research rarely lives in one place. A useful answer might require public web sources, filings, uploaded PDFs, internal notes, customer messages, and prior analysis. Manually collecting and reconciling that material is slow and easy to get wrong.

How Deep Notebook Helps

Deep Notebook gives the agent a research plan and the sources it needs, then exposes the work as it runs. The result is a report you can inspect rather than a black-box answer.

Use this pattern when you need to answer questions like:

• •What changed in a market over the last quarter?
• •Which competitors are gaining traction, and why?
• •What does the evidence say about a company, product, or customer segment?
• •What should I know before an investment, sales, partnership, or strategy meeting?

Getting Started

Start with the decision. Instead of asking "Research Acme," ask "Research whether Acme is moving upmarket, using product launches, pricing changes, hiring, customer evidence, and competitor comparisons."

Add sources that matter. Attach files, choose connected tools, or add domain filters for primary sources.

Ask for the format you need. Examples: investment memo, market map, risk register, customer brief, source table, or executive summary with citations.

Tips

Be explicit about uncertainty. Ask the report to separate confirmed facts, signals, interpretations, and open questions.

Prefer primary sources when accuracy matters. Tell the plan to prioritize filings, company materials, docs, source files, and direct quotes over summaries.

Review the plan before running. A few minutes of plan editing usually saves more time than cleaning up a vague report later.
