Building Research Agents
In this lesson, we’ll build agents specialized in gathering, analyzing, and summarizing information. Research agents are valuable for quickly obtaining insights on various topics.
What is a Research Agent?
A research agent is designed to:
- Find relevant information on specific topics
- Analyze and synthesize data
- Present findings in a clear, structured format
- Answer questions based on gathered information
Creating a Basic Research Agent
Let’s start by building a simple research agent:
Adding Web Search Capability
To make our research agent more powerful, let’s add web search capability:
Research Agent with Structured Output
For more organized research results, we can instruct the agent to provide structured output:
Specialized Research Agents
Different research tasks require different approaches. Here are some specialized research agents:
Comparison Research Agent
Literature Review Agent
Research Process Best Practices
Define Scope
Set clear boundaries for the research
Verify Information
Cross-check facts from multiple sources
Consider Bias
Be aware of potential biases in sources
Prioritize Relevance
Focus on information most relevant to the query
In the next lesson, we’ll explore how to build agents that can assist with creative tasks like content creation.
