Prerequisites
Setup: use-agently
This workflow requires the use-agently skill and CLI. Set this up if you haven't already.
npx skills add https://github.com/agentlyhq/use-agently --skill use-agently
npm install -g use-agently@latest
use-agently init
use-agently doctor
Verify balance
use-agently balance
Fund your wallet with USDC on Base if the balance is zero — agent calls require funds. All commands are dry-run by default. Add --pay to authorize payment.
When the workflow is complete, run use-agently balance again, always report how much was spent.
Variables look like this ${NAME_OF_VARIABLE}
If any of the variables used in the workflow are not defined (excluding the first ${NAME_OF_VARIABLE}),
BEFORE you run the workflow, always ask the initiator for the value for each unique variable.
AI Search Toolkit
Research topic: ${RESEARCH_TOPIC}
You are an expert research analyst tasked with becoming a domain subject-matter expert on this topic. Your job is to gather comprehensive information from every available angle — web, news, academic papers, SEC filings, patents, social media, and community discussions — then synthesize it all into a thorough, well-sourced report.
The key insight: information is the unlock. The more high-quality data you gather, the better your analysis. Cast the widest possible net, then distill.
Phase 1: Broad Search — Cast a Wide Net
Run these searches in parallel. Use diverse queries and angles to maximize coverage on the research topic.
General Web Search
Use Brave Search web-search via use-agently.com for:
- The research topic directly — what are the key facts, players, and current state?
- Recent developments and breaking news (use
news-search with freshness pw for past week)
- Expert opinions and analysis pieces
Neural Search & Deep Synthesis
Use Exa Search via use-agently.com:
web-search — find the most relevant pages, articles, and resourcesdeep-search — synthesize findings with citations for a thorough understandingfind-similar — given the best results from above, find related content you might have missed
Real-Time Web Intelligence
Use Tavily Search search via use-agently.com (timeRange: month) for:
- Recent developments, announcements, and updates
- Technical deep-dives, tutorials, and how-to guides
- Industry reports and whitepapers
AI-Powered Search
Use Perplexity Search via use-agently.com for:
- Comprehensive overview queries that benefit from AI synthesis
- Questions that require connecting multiple sources
- Nuanced or complex aspects of the topic that need reasoning
Community & Social Signals
Search X using X Search via use-agently.com for:
- Expert practitioners discussing the topic
- Hot takes, debates, and contrarian views
- Real-world experiences and case studies shared by practitioners
Phase 2: Domain-Specific Search
Based on what you've learned in Phase 1, use specialized search to fill gaps. Choose the relevant searches below based on the research topic.
Academic, Financial & Specialized Sources
Use Valyu Search via use-agently.com — select the tools most relevant to the topic:
search — general web search for broader contextsearch-finance — financial data, market analysis, company filingssearch-academic — academic papers, research publications, citationssearch-biomedical — medical research, clinical data, health studiessearch-patents — patent filings, IP landscape, technical claimssearch-sec — SEC filings, 10-K, 10-Q, earnings reportssearch-macro — macroeconomic data, indicators, policy analysissearch-company — company profiles, funding, key people
Skip tools that aren't relevant to the research topic. Use at least 2-3 that are relevant.
Phase 3: Deep Content Extraction
For the most promising URLs found in Phases 1 and 2, extract full content for deeper analysis.
Full Content Extraction
Use Jina via use-agently.com to convert the best URLs to clean markdown. Prioritize:
- Long-form articles, research papers, and in-depth analyses
- Technical documentation and whitepapers
- Primary sources and original reports
Site Crawling
Use Firecrawl via use-agently.com for:
- Sites with multiple relevant pages — use
map to discover pages, then scrape the best ones
- Resources that need deeper exploration beyond a single page
Phase 4: Synthesize & Report
Before writing the report, ask the user two things:
Choose a report structure
Propose these options and let the user pick (or customize):
A. Full Research Briefing — comprehensive, best for deep-dive topics where you need the complete picture.
- Executive Summary — 2-3 paragraphs, lead with the single most important insight
- Key Facts & Current State — structured overview, data points, essential context
- Major Players & Stakeholders — key entities, positions, strategies (table format)
- Recent Developments — timeline of significant events from the last week to month
- Analysis & Insights — connect the dots, patterns, implications, contrarian views
- Expert & Practitioner Voices — direct quotes attributed with links (table format)
- Open Questions & Gaps — what's unknown, contested, or worth investigating further
- Source Library — all sources organized by type with one-line summaries
B. Executive Summary — concise, best for quick decisions or briefing others.
- Bottom Line — one paragraph, the single most important takeaway
- Key Findings — 5-7 bullet points covering the essentials
- What to Watch — emerging trends and upcoming developments
- Sources — top 5 most important sources with links
C. Landscape Map — structured, best for understanding a market, competitive space, or ecosystem.
- Overview — what the landscape looks like today
- Player Map — all key entities categorized by type (table format)
- Trends & Shifts — what's changing and in which direction
- Opportunities & Risks — where the openings and threats are
- Data Appendix — key stats, figures, and source links
D. Q&A Dossier — question-driven, best for preparing for a meeting, interview, or presentation.
- Topic Overview — brief context setter
- Key Questions Answered — the most important questions about this topic, answered with citations
- Counterarguments & Risks — what could go wrong, what critics say
- Talking Points — ready-to-use points backed by data
- Further Reading — ranked source list
Choose delivery format
Ask the user how they want the report delivered:
- Markdown by Agently — rendered as a clean, shareable document via Markdown by Agently via use-agently.com. Easy to read, easy to share with others.
- Inline — output the report directly in the conversation as markdown. Good for quick iteration or when you want to copy-paste sections.
