How to Use

For your first CellCog task in a session, read the cellcog skill for the full SDK reference — file handling, chat modes, timeouts, and more.

OpenClaw (fire-and-forget):

result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    notify_session_key="agent:main:main",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="team",
)

All agents except OpenClaw (blocks until done):

from cellcog import CellCogClient
client = CellCogClient(agent_provider="openclaw|cursor|claude-code|codex|...")
result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="team",
)
print(result["message"])

Choosing Mode & Tier

Use chat_mode="team" — this is exactly what Agent Team exists for. Deep research is THE Team use case: multi-source synthesis, cross-validation, citation verification, multiple reasoning passes.

Scenario	Recommended
Deep research, competitive analysis, market research	chat_mode="team" (default tier "core")
High-stakes due diligence, institutional-grade analysis	chat_mode="team", chat_tier="max" (requires >=2,000 credits)
Quick lookups, simple summaries	chat_mode="agent"

Legacy names "agent team" / "agent team max" still work forever (they map to team core / team max).

Research Quality Features

Citations (On Request)

Citations are NOT automatic. CellCog focuses on delivering accurate, well-researched content by default.

If you need citations:

• Explicitly request them: "Include citations for all factual claims with source URLs"
• Specify format: "Provide citations as footnotes" or "Include a references section at the end"
• Indicate placement: "Citations inline" vs "Citations in appendix"

Without explicit citation requests, CellCog prioritizes delivering accurate information efficiently.

Data Accuracy

CellCog cross-references multiple sources for financial and statistical data, ensuring accuracy even without explicit citations.

Structured Analysis

Complex research is organized with clear sections, executive summaries, and actionable insights.

Visual Elements

Research reports can include:

• Charts and graphs
• Comparison tables
• Timeline visualizations
• Market maps

Tips for Better Research

1. Be specific: "AI market" is vague. "Enterprise AI automation market in healthcare" is better.

2. Specify timeframe: "Recent" is ambiguous. "2025-2026" or "last 6 months" is clearer.

3. Define scope: "Compare everything about X and Y" leads to bloat. "Compare X and Y on pricing, features, and market positioning" is focused.

4. Request structure: "Include executive summary, key findings, and recommendations" helps organize output.

5. Mention output format: "Deliver as PDF" or "Create interactive HTML dashboard" gets you the right format.
