What it does

Turns a single open-ended question into a structured, sourced evidence table. The agent searches the live web, reads the strongest sources, extracts discrete claims, and writes each claim to a Notion database row alongside its source URL, a one-line supporting quote, and a confidence flag (High / Medium / Low) reflecting source quality and corroboration.

When to use it

Use it when you need a defensible answer fast and want to see the evidence, not just a paragraph. Good for market sizing questions, competitive checks, due-diligence prompts, or any decision where "where did this come from?" matters.

How it works

  1. 1You submit a question through a form trigger.
  2. 2The agent runs a neural web search to gather candidate sources.
  3. 3It cross-checks the top hits with a second search engine to corroborate facts.
  4. 4An LLM extracts atomic claims and assigns each a confidence flag based on agreement across sources.
  5. 5Each claim is written as a row in a Notion evidence table with source link, quote, and flag.
  6. 6You get a Slack ping with a link to the finished table.
