AI Research Intelligence Agent

One query → comprehensive intelligence report. Automated deep research powered by CrewAI + LLM, running on the Apify platform.

What It Does

This Actor turns any research question into a structured, actionable intelligence report. Instead of spending hours searching, reading, and synthesizing, you get:

• Executive Summary — TL;DR with key takeaways
• Key Findings — Data points, trends, and facts
• Market Landscape — Competitors, players, positioning
• Opportunities — Actionable gaps and openings
• Risks — Threats, regulations, headwinds
• Recommendations — Clear next steps
• Sources — Every claim backed by a URL

Perfect For

• 🏢 Market Research — Size a market, map competitors, find trends
• 💼 Due Diligence — Evaluate a company, technology, or investment
• 📊 Competitive Intelligence — Track what rivals are doing
• 📰 News Monitoring — Deep-dive into breaking stories
• 🎓 Academic Research — Literature review and synthesis
• 🚀 Product Research — Validate ideas before building

How It Works (3-Step Pipeline)

1. SEARCH   → Google Search Scraper finds the most relevant sources
2. CRAWL    → Website Content Crawler extracts full text from top pages
3. ANALYZE  → CrewAI agent reads, synthesizes, and writes the report

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
query	string	✅	—	Your research question (e.g., "AI chip market 2025")
modelName	string	❌	gpt-4o-mini	LLM model: gpt-4o (best quality) or gpt-4o-mini (faster/cheaper)
depth	string	❌	standard	Research depth: quick (light), standard (balanced), deep (comprehensive)
maxSources	integer	❌	10	Max sources to analyze (3–30)
