Inputs and process
The agent plans the search, prioritizes primary sources, compares dates, and separates sourced facts from inference.
- A research question, time range, acceptable sources, and decision format.
- Cite primary sources
- Label inference
Finished output
A structured report for decision-making.
- An executive summary, evidence table, links, contradictions, and unresolved verification questions.
- Preserve contradictions
In-depth guide
How this works in real life
A practical look at capabilities, setup, and operational boundaries.
How to prepare the workflow
Studies sources, compares facts, and produces conclusions. Prepare the following input: a research question, time range, acceptable sources, and decision format.
The core stages are source discovery, data comparison, linked report. Run them manually first and preserve examples of a good result in the agent instructions.
- Configure: source discovery
- Configure: data comparison
- Configure: linked report
How to review and automate output
Expected output: A structured report for decision-making. Review it using this evidence: an executive summary, evidence table, links, contradictions, and unresolved verification questions.
After several reliable runs, configure the schedule and notification channel. Keep critical actions behind approval and use execution history to refine instructions and compare quality.
- Cite primary sources
- Label inference
- Preserve contradictions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which agent should I choose?
OpenClaw fits broad and communication-heavy tasks. Hermes Agent is often better for coding, research, and complex technical workflows.
Can this run on a schedule?
Yes. After validating the workflow, you can make it a recurring task.
