Paste a big or vague question and get the smaller questions you need answered first, ranked by how much they matter, plus the facts you're missing and a short form to send to whoever has them.

Quick start

Press Start to break down the sample build-or-buy question. Add one question per line to run a batch.

What you get

  • Ranked sub-questions with why each matters
  • Blocking facts: the specific numbers or decisions you need before anyone can answer
  • A ready-to-send clarifying form with suggested options
  • A Markdown summary of the whole batch

Good for

  • Scoping a project before a kickoff
  • Turning a fuzzy client request into a questions list
  • Research planning

Pricing

  • $0.01 per question

You pay only for results that come back. Set a max cost per run in the run options and the run stops cleanly when it hits it. Normal Apify platform usage applies.

Input

FieldWhat it does
questionsOne question per line. Each comes back as ranked sub-questions, the facts you're missing and a short form you can send to whoever has the answers.
contextFacts, audience or the outcome you want. Applies to every question above.
itemsFor API users: a list of {question, context} objects, one row each.

Limits

  • It breaks the question down; it does not answer it. Pair it with the research brief for that.

Run it from code

Same input as the Console sample:

{
"questions": [
"Should our 12-person SaaS company build or buy customer support automation?"
],
"context": "We need a recommendation for next quarter. Budget and timeline are not fixed yet."
}
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/physealabs~question-decomposer/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @input.json
from apify_client import ApifyClient
items = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN").actor("physealabs/question-decomposer").call(run_input={"questions": ["Should our 12-person SaaS company build or buy customer support automation?"], "context": "We need a recommendation for next quarter. Budget and timeline are not fixed yet."})

It also works from Zapier, Make, n8n and Apify schedules.
