How to use Autonomous Research Agents

Give an agent a topic and it discovers perspectives, decomposes the question, runs retrieval and returns a cited report with a full trail of every step.

Before you start

• • A signed-in SciExpert account

Steps

1. 1

   Open Autonomous Research Agents

   From the workspace sidebar choose Autonomous Research Agents. On a phone, open the All menu and tap Autonomous Research Agents.

2. 2

   Set up your inputs

   Give an agent a topic and it discovers perspectives, decomposes the question, runs retrieval and returns a cited report with a full trail of every step. Start with the smallest realistic input so you can check the output before scaling up.

3. 3

   Run it

   Run the tool and check the first output: storm-style perspective discovery and interviews.

4. 4

   Review what came back

   Work through the results: query decomposition with iterative retrieval; cited report grounded in the records retrieved; live agent trail you can audit step by step.

5. 5

   Save or export

   Save the configuration as a preset if you will repeat it, and export the output when you need it outside SciExpert. Your inputs persist across refreshes and sign-ins.

Tips

• • Start with a small input, verify the output, then scale up.
• • Save a preset once the configuration works so you can reuse it across papers.
