Yes. Nine vendors, one sheet, a source URL in every cell
A companion opens every source, reads all of them at the same depth, and returns the structured answer. You decide what it means.
Yes. Finding the sources, opening them, reading them and pulling the comparable facts into one structure is work a companion does well. It goes to the primary pages themselves, reads the pricing table on the vendor’s own site rather than a review site’s summary of it, and returns a spreadsheet where every cell carries a URL you can click.
Volume is where it separates from a person. Somebody evaluating nine vendors reads three thoroughly and skims six. A companion reads all nine the same way, at the same depth, with no slide from vendor four onward. What stays yours is the judgment: whether the question was the right question, and what the finding means for the decision. Strawberry runs on Mac and Windows.
What research can a companion actually finish?
Research with a defined shape.
"Find every HRIS vendor that supports Danish payroll, and for each one: pricing model, SSO support, SOC 2 status, migration path" has a definition of done, so it gets finished. You write the question and the columns; the companion supplies the coverage.

Where the output needs your eye
Facts that changed last week, facts behind paywalls, and topics where the top twenty results all paraphrase one press release. A companion reads today’s page rather than a training snapshot, and it marks what nobody published instead of filling the cell.
Name the columns and the cut. Ask for "CRMs under $50/seat with a two-way Gmail sync, ranked by how painful the LinkedIn workflow is" and you get something worth reading, the same pattern used from the market angle in how to automate market research with AI.
What does a worked example look like?
A 40-person company replacing its HR system.
The operations lead hands a companion nine vendor names and the shortlist criteria. Back comes a sheet: one row per vendor, with pricing model, seat minimums, SSO and SOC 2 claims, implementation timeline and Danish-payroll support, one source URL per cell.
Three vendors are flagged because their public pages never answer the payroll question, which is a finding rather than a gap. The afternoon goes to a two-vendor decision instead of a nine-vendor slog. Runs with the output attached are on real runs.
Ask it every Monday and it runs itself
A question you ask once is a chat. A question you ask every Monday (what competitors shipped, what moved in the niche, which prospects raised money) becomes a routine that runs on schedule and delivers a digest, closer to competitor monitoring than to search. The same companion then acts on what it found in your logged-in accounts, with consequential steps waiting on an approval card.
