Short answer

How can I use my AI to delegate research?

Your agent converts your research needs into formal work orders for your virtual assistants. This process moves your requirements from a chat window into a managed task. You'll see how the handoff works below.

The outcomes.

Where your requests land.

Your agent handles the logistics of the handoff.

TASK

New work orders

The agent uses create_task to turn your research prompt into a formal assignment. Your assistant receives the specific instructions you discussed.

STAFF

Assistant selection

The agent uses list_assistants to find the right person for the job. You get the right expertise without manual searching.

HUMAN

Expert research

A human assistant takes over to perform the actual deep-dive research. They handle the parts of the task that require real-world browsing.

DONE

Completed work

Once the assistant finishes, the results are ready for your review. The loop closes when the research meets your original requirements.

The workflow

What your AI does when research needs arise.

The AI acts as the project manager between you and your staff.

  1. Find help

    Your agent checks who is available to take on the research project. It looks through your current roster of assistants to find a match.
