  • No external integration; works with tables, forms and the Studio in your own environment.

How does sharpening a research question work with AI?

An AI agent works with its own instructions and its own sources, which you start in the Studio or from an automation.

Say what you want to find out. The assistant asks five questions, reformulates yours into a sharp main question with sub-questions, and proposes an approach: which sources, in which order, what you leave out.

No external integration is needed: the data is in a table or form in your own environment, or in the documents you give the AI agent.

Everything runs in your own environment in Amsterdam. You set the limit: what falls within it runs by itself; what falls outside it comes to you first. Every run is there to read back step by step in Runs.

Who it's for

For knowledge and research: answers from your own manuals, contracts and procedures, citing their source. Those hours go into judging the answer, instead of into looking it up in ten documents.

This department comes into play in accountancy and bookkeeping firms and legal and notaries.

How to install it

  1. Choose the template in your environment under Templates.
  2. Give the AI agent its sources: documents, a mailbox or a table.
  3. Try it in the Studio and adjust the instructions wherever you like.

The full manual (what it is for, what you get, what you need, step by step, testing, errors with cause and remedy) sits with the template in your own environment.
