AI AGENTS
Evidence-Backed Research Pack from a Submitted Topic
Submit a research question via webhook and an agent gathers primary sources, extracts supporting evidence with citations.

What it does
Given a research question posted to a webhook, this agent compiles an evidence pack: the question restated, a synthesized answer, and a list of findings where each is tied to a quoted passage from a real source it fetched. Output goes to a stored document and a structured JSON response for downstream tools.
When to use it
For teams building research into a larger workflow — an internal tool, a knowledge base ingest, or an RFP-response pipeline — that need machine-readable findings with citations, not just prose.
How it works
- 1An HTTP webhook receives the research question and parameters.
- 2Exa runs targeted neural search and returns ranked candidate sources.
- 3Firecrawl scrapes each candidate to clean text for grounded reading.
- 4The agent (OpenAI) extracts discrete findings, each with a verbatim supporting quote and source URL, and writes a synthesized answer.
- 5The structured findings are saved as a document in Google Drive for the record.
- 6The webhook returns the same findings as JSON so the calling system can consume them.
