How it works
Astragentic creates intelligent research assistants that understand your specific research goals, can navigate multiple sources simultaneously, extract relevant information, and organize findings in meaningful ways—all while maintaining rigorous sourcing and citation standards.
The Research Challenge
The digital age has exponentially increased access to information, but our capacity to process it remains limited. Research that should enlighten us often becomes overwhelming instead. Traditional research tools can search or store information, but they can't understand context or help synthesize insights.
Time-Consuming Searches
Researchers spend hours manually searching multiple sources one by one.
Manual Information Extraction
Extracting and organizing relevant information from sources is tedious and error-prone.
Disconnected Information Silos
Information exists in different formats and locations, making synthesis difficult.
Lack of Contextual Understanding
Tools that don't understand domain context return irrelevant results and miss connections.
How Astragentic Transforms Research
Define Your Research Goals
Simply describe your research objectives, domain, and the types of information you're seeking. Astragentic understands research context and methodology.
Astragentic Creates Custom Research Agents
The system generates specialized Starflows that work together to form a powerful research suite—from searching sources to extracting information to organizing findings.
Multi-Source Information Gathering
Your research tools search across multiple sources simultaneously—websites, academic databases, PDFs, internal documents—understanding context and extracting what's relevant.
Intelligent Organization and Synthesis
Information is automatically organized in meaningful ways—summaries, comparisons, timelines, or structured data—while maintaining rigorous citation standards.
Multi-Source Research
Astragentic research tools can search across different types of sources simultaneously, understanding the relationships between information.
- Search web, academic databases, and local files simultaneously
- Understand domain-specific terminology and concepts
- Follow citation trails to find primary sources
Intelligent Extraction
Extract relevant information from various formats, understanding what matters for your specific research goals.
- Pull structured data from unstructured content
- Extract key facts, figures, and quotes with context
- Create structured datasets from disparate sources
Organization & Synthesis
Organize findings in ways that enhance understanding and help generate new insights.
- Generate summaries, comparisons, and analyses
- Create bibliographies and citation management
- Identify gaps, contradictions, and connections
Research Domains
Astragentic research tools can be customized for various domains and research methodologies:
Academic Research
Tools that understand academic standards, can search journal databases, extract data from papers, and help with literature reviews, methodology development, and research synthesis.
Market & Competitive Intelligence
Tools that monitor competitors, track industry trends, analyze market data, and generate insights for strategic decision-making—all while maintaining an organized intelligence database.
Legal Research
Tools that understand legal terminology, can search case law, identify relevant precedents, and organize findings in ways that support legal argumentation and case preparation.
Policy & Public Affairs Research
Tools that analyze regulations, policy documents, and public discourse across multiple jurisdictions, identifying trends, contradictions, and opportunities for intervention.
Integration & Organization
Astragentic research tools integrate seamlessly with your existing workflows:
Knowledge Management Integration
Your research tools can connect with your existing knowledge bases, document management systems, and note-taking applications—ensuring information flows wherever you need it.
- Export findings to your preferred formats and tools
- Maintain versioning and provenance tracking
- Connect new findings with existing knowledge
Collaborative Research
Support team-based research efforts with tools that allow multiple researchers to contribute, share findings, and build on each other's work.
- Share research tools and methodologies across teams
- Track contributions and maintain research integrity
- Create research workflows that span multiple roles
Research Tools in Action
Here is how you right now could use Astragentic for research:
Generate a Multi-Source Research Aggregator
A Starflow that accepts your research query and list of target sources (academic databases, news websites, company APIs, government data portals), performs parallel searches across all specified sources simultaneously, extracts relevant information and metadata (title, author, date, key excerpts) from each search result, filters and ranks all findings by relevance score using your criteria, and outputs a comprehensive structured collection organized by source with snippets, relevance ratings, and direct URLs for easy access.
Generate a Research Synthesis Assistant
A Starflow that takes your collected research data files as input, analyzes all sources to identify recurring themes, significant contradictions, and consensus findings, generates a structured synthesis document organized by topic with supporting evidence and direct quotes, automatically creates properly formatted citations in your preferred style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.), cross-references related findings, and outputs a comprehensive research report with full citations, bibliography, and categorized source references.
