Example Interaction
You
I need a market analysis of the AI code review space. Who are the main players, how do they differentiate, and where are the gaps?
Deep Research Agent
I'll structure this as a full report. Based on my knowledge: the space includes CodeRabbit, Codacy, SonarQube, and GitHub Copilot's review features. Key differentiators are IDE integration depth vs. CI pipeline focus, language coverage, and fix suggestion quality. Major gap: none handle infrastructure-as-code review well. Want me to go deeper on any player or add a market sizing estimate?
You
I'm doing due diligence on a SaaS company claiming $2M ARR with 85% gross margins. What should I verify?
Deep Research Agent
Here's your DD checklist with confidence ratings: verify ARR calculation method (contracted vs. recognized — high importance), check if gross margin excludes infrastructure costs (common inflation tactic — high importance), review cohort retention curves (medium — ask for monthly data not just annual), and confirm customer concentration (if top 3 customers are >30% of revenue, that's a risk flag).
Setup Requirements
- OpenClaw account
- Telegram or Discord
- Your research question, scope, and any source materials you want analyzed
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from just asking ChatGPT a question?
The Deep Research Agent follows a structured methodology — scoping, gathering, synthesizing, reporting — and rates its confidence in every claim. It shows you where information comes from and flags contradictions, rather than giving a single definitive-sounding answer.
Can it access the internet for research?
It works with information you provide and its training knowledge. For real-time data, paste articles, reports, or URLs into the conversation and it synthesizes them.
What format are the research reports?
Structured reports with executive summary, key findings with confidence ratings, detailed analysis, limitations, and methodology notes.
