FAQPage Schema
How do I plan and execute structured web research across multiple sources?

Structured web research involves creating a research plan, delegating subtopics to subagents for data collection, and synthesizing findings with citations into a final report.

Can I automate information synthesis with citations for complex comparative analyses?

Yes, you can automate information synthesis by delegating subtopic research to subagents, which collect data from multiple sources and compile citation-aware reports.

What is the best way to organize web search findings into a local file?

Organize web search findings by creating a research_plan.md file to track subtopics, delegating collection tasks, and synthesizing the collected sources into a local report.

How do subagents help with collecting and synthesizing web research?

Subagents handle delegated subtopic research tasks, enabling parallel data collection across multiple sources, which is then synthesized locally into a structured report with citations.

When should I use a plan-driven approach for web research tasks?

Use plan-driven web research for complex topics requiring multiple sources, comparative analyses, and well-sourced findings, ensuring organized data collection and citation-backed reporting.

Does structured web research require a specific environment setup or dependencies?

No external dependencies are required to start structured web research; you only need to define your topic and initiate the task tool to create plans and delegate subtopic research.
