AI Researcher

A conversational research agent that runs structured investigations across 30+ external sources on demand. Instead of briefing an agency for a competitive deep-dive or a brand-health read. You pick a template, ask, and get back a deep, sourced answer in minutes, structured as metric cards, channel breakdowns, tables, insights, and citations.

What this does for you: A research agent that runs structured investigations across 30+ external sources on demand. Instead of briefing an agency for a competitive deep-dive. You pick a template, ask, and get a deep, sourced answer in minutes. It sits inside Brand Moderator because a spike or a crisis detected in social listening hands straight off into a research run.

Key insights you'll see:

  • Eight prebuilt research templates: Competitive Benchmarking, Brand Health Monitor, Crisis & Issue Deep Dive, Campaign Impact, Audience & Demographics, Emerging Trends, Channel Performance, Regional Analysis
  • Answers come back as structured blocks, narrative text, metric cards (with deltas and sparklines), channel bars, comparison tables, ranked insights, and a sources list you can verify
  • A History tab of prior runs so you can revisit findings without re-running
  • Conversational follow-ups, drill into any answer the way you would with an analyst

Why it matters: This is what moves us from "AI production tool" to "creative and brand intelligence partner", the exact ask from Piramal and Signode. A category-specific creative strategy, a competitor teardown, or a quarterly brand-health monitor that used to be an agency project is now a self-serve run, and the target is ≥60% of these handled without a human analyst.

When to come here: Before a strategy offsite. After a competitor makes a move and you need a fast read. Quarterly brand-health monitor. When a listening spike needs a crisis-comms deep dive.
