AI-Powered Research Agent: SearchCans Deep Dive

SearchCans Deep Dive is an AI agent skill designed to conduct structured and evidence-led web research using the SearchCans SERP API and Reader API. This skill supports tasks that require current web-based evidence, such as market analysis, competitor insights, technology assessments, policy reviews, and product comparisons. It uses a strategic approach to plan research subquestions, read selected articles, reconcile diverse claims, and deliver concise, traceable briefs.

• Identifies and defines the scope of research by setting constraints such as research questions, decision support, geographic localization, language preferences, and freshness requirements.
• Develops 3-5 strategic subquestions to guide the research, covering primary claims, alternative perspectives, material objections, and decision implications.
• Executes a focused search using defined subquestions, aiming to maintain a small source budget unless broader coverage is necessary.
• Collects and reads selected web pages to build an evidence bundle, ensuring a comprehensive understanding before drawing conclusions.
• Compiles a claim-ready brief with supporting data and traceable URLs for verification and further exploration.
