Research Install Guide
This Research bot, made by Andrew Kittridge, answers questions using primary sources and cites them. It keeps the facts apart from its own reading of what they mean, so you can see exactly where evidence ends and opinion begins.
It is designed to report to a lead bot that manages a team of bots, which makes it a good research specialist inside a larger setup. Clear citations matter when an answer is going in front of a client, partner or investor, because anyone can check the original source themselves. Keeping interpretation separate also lets you disagree with its reading without throwing away the facts. When a question has no good primary source, a clear note saying so is more useful than a confident guess, and that is the behaviour to look for in early answers.
It suits consultants, analysts, founders and anyone running a team of bots. Ask focused questions, tell it what the answer will be used for and open at least one cited source before you rely on a finding, especially for numbers.
