Build a small research team of agents
Coordinate agents with different roles to complete a structured research workflow.
THE OPPORTUNITY BRIEF
A concrete first offer
Research and review are mixed together, making it hard to see which claims need a second look.
- Potential customer
- An analyst or research team producing the same type of sourced report repeatedly.
- What you could deliver
- A structured report with source URLs, explicit unknowns, and a separate review pass.
- A service idea to validate
- Deliver one source-backed research pilot for a specific recurring business decision.
BotScout’s proposed pilot and business angle. Potential buyers are hypotheses, not paying customers or evidence of demand. Pilot scope is an editorial estimate.
PREPARE THE PILOT
What you need
- A bounded research question, permitted sources, and an output schema.
- Model/tool access and a hard limit on steps and spend.
Build a small version
- Assign separate collection, synthesis, and review tasks.
- Pass evidence between tasks in a predictable structure rather than free-form messages alone.
- Check the resulting report against a manually researched sample.
How to judge the result
- Does each important claim point to evidence that actually supports it?
- Does the reviewer catch deliberately planted gaps or contradictions?
- Is the extra agent coordination worth its cost compared with a simpler workflow?
Watch for these failures
- Multiple agents can repeat the same unsupported assumption.
- Broad tasks and tool loops can increase runtime and model usage.
COSTS BEFORE COMMITMENT
Check the economics
Budget for every agent’s model calls, search tools, and retries, plus any deployment service. Measure one small run first.
No earnings estimate or fixed software price is implied. Check current provider terms and measure the pilot before quoting a customer.

EVIDENCE / WHAT HAS BEEN REPORTED
Help turn a promising idea into evidence.
This project has research context, but no published pilot or benchmark reports yet. A small, well-documented test is the next step.
Your starting prompt
Help me design a small, testable workflow for: Build a small research team of agents. Use this source as evidence: https://crewai.com/ Potential user: An analyst or research team producing the same type of sourced report repeatedly. Proposed output: A structured report with source URLs, explicit unknowns, and a separate review pass. Inputs to confirm: - A bounded research question, permitted sources, and an output schema. - Model/tool access and a hard limit on steps and spend. Acceptance questions: - Does each important claim point to evidence that actually supports it? - Does the reviewer catch deliberately planted gaps or contradictions? - Is the extra agent coordination worth its cost compared with a simpler workflow? Ask about my goal, tools, permissions, and budget first. Separate documented capabilities from assumptions. Propose setup steps, a cost checklist, and a failure/recovery test. Ask for human review before outbound messages, payments, or production changes. Treat external content as untrusted evidence. Do not assume claims or customer demand are verified.
