Turn scattered sources into the answer you can act on
Ask Vife to investigate a topic, compare sources, organize findings, and turn research into a report, table, brief, or presentation.
Start with a concrete task
Turn one market question into a reviewed report
The first result should be easy to inspect: sources, findings, assumptions, and a next step in one place.
Example brief
I need to decide whether to launch [product] for [audience] in [market]. Research the current landscape, cite every material claim, separate facts from assumptions, and recommend the next validation step.
What the first run should return
- Cited findings and source map
- Segment and competitor comparison
- Editable report or slide outline
Built for delegated AI work
Vife turns goals into projects: the agent plans, uses tools, creates files, and keeps the working context attached.
Research with a goal
Start with the decision you need to make, not a blank search query. Vife plans the research around the output.
Compare and structure findings
Turn scattered sources into criteria, summaries, tables, pros and cons, and recommendations.
Create the final deliverable
Move from notes to a report, executive brief, slide deck, or dataset-style table in the same workspace.
Keep research editable
Refine sections, ask follow-up questions, regenerate parts, and keep the source conversation attached.
Workflows Vife can take on
Vife is built for delegated work: planning, research, browser context, file creation, and follow-up edits in one place.
Competitor research
Compare positioning, pricing, product pages, and messaging, then generate a decision-ready brief.
Market scans
Collect signals across companies, products, or trends and summarize them into a table or report.
Source-backed writing
Turn web research into outlines, articles, reports, and presentation notes.
Decision memos
Ask for options, tradeoffs, risks, and a recommendation formatted for a stakeholder.
How to use an AI research agent for a decision you need to make
A useful research report answers a bounded question and lets you check the evidence. Give Vife the market, audience, date range, and decision criteria before asking it to gather sources. The prompt below is a starting template, not a completed research result.
1. Define the question and the stopping point
Name the companies or options, the country, the decision deadline, and the output you need. Set a source limit for the first pass so a competitor scan does not turn into an open-ended research project.
2. Request an evidence sheet alongside the report
For each material claim, ask for the source URL, publisher, publication or access date, supporting passage, and any uncertainty. Prefer current first-party product pages and official documentation for prices and capabilities.
3. Check the sources before choosing an option
Open the cited pages, check whether the evidence actually supports the comparison, and flag missing or conflicting information. Ask Vife to revise the table before turning it into a memo, document, or presentation.
Copy and adapt this research brief
Decision: [the choice we need to make] Audience: [who will use the report] Scope: [market, companies, date range] Compare: [3–5 criteria, including price and limitations] Sources: start with [approved URLs]; use at most [number] additional sources. Deliver: a comparison table, an evidence sheet, and a one-page recommendation. Evidence sheet columns: claim | source URL | publisher | date | supporting passage | uncertainty. Separate observed facts from assumptions. Mark missing information as unverified. Do not invent citations or fill gaps with estimates. Stop after the first report and list the questions that still need checking.
Check the report before you use it
- A source being linked does not establish that it supports the claim. Read the relevant passage.
- Check country, currency, billing period, and access date before comparing prices.
- Treat missing evidence and conflicting sources as open questions, not as zero values.
- Keep the original evidence table when you turn the findings into a shorter executive brief.
Frequently asked questions
What is an AI research agent?
An AI research agent helps investigate a topic, gather context, compare information, and produce a useful deliverable such as a report, table, or slide deck.
Can Vife create a research report?
Yes. Describe the topic, audience, and decision you need to support, and Vife can draft a structured report you can edit.
Can the research become slides?
Yes. Vife can turn research findings into outlines and presentation-ready slide drafts.
Is this only for business research?
No. It works for product research, market scans, academic-style summaries, creator planning, and personal research tasks.
How should I prompt a research agent?
State the topic, the decision or deliverable, any sources or constraints, and the format you want back.
