What Companions Can Do
Research For You
Research For You
Your Companion can go beyond the page you are on—it can research topics across the web, gathering and synthesizing information from multiple sources.
Companions as Research Agents
When you need to understand a topic deeply, your Companion can act as a research agent:
- Search the web for relevant information
- Visit multiple pages and extract key details
- Synthesize findings into a coherent summary
- Cite sources so you can verify and explore further
Just ask:
- "Research the best project management tools for small teams"
- "What are the latest developments in [topic]?"
- "Find me reviews and comparisons of [product]"
Parallel Research Threads
Your Companion can pursue multiple lines of inquiry at once:
- Investigate different aspects of a topic simultaneously
- Compare multiple products or options in parallel
- Gather information from several sources at the same time
This makes complex research much faster. Instead of opening dozens of tabs yourself, your Companion does the legwork.
Gather, Compare, and Synthesize
Your Companion does not just collect information—it helps you make sense of it:
Gather — Pull together relevant facts and details
- "What do different sources say about this topic?"
- "Find the key statistics on [subject]"
Compare — Identify similarities and differences
- "Compare these three options side by side"
- "What do reviewers agree and disagree on?"
Synthesize — Create a unified understanding
- "Based on everything you found, what is the best option for me?"
- "Give me a comprehensive overview of this topic"
Example: Deep Research Across Multiple Sources
Imagine you are researching a major purchase or decision. You could ask:
"Research the best laptops for software development under $2000. Look at reviews from multiple sources, compare the top options, and give me a recommendation based on performance, build quality, and value."
Your Companion will:
- Search for relevant reviews and comparisons
- Visit multiple trusted sources
- Extract key information about top contenders
- Compare them across the criteria you mentioned
- Present a synthesized recommendation with reasoning
This would take you an hour or more manually. Your Companion can do it in minutes.
Next, we will explore how your Companion can take actions for you.
