Deep Research Agent
This workflow answers complex research questions by using an AI agent that searches the web and reviews relevant online content. It produces a detailed, organized report and automatically saves it as a Google Document for easy access and sharing.
What It Does
- Accepts a research question as input.
- Uses an AI agent to perform web searches and browse pages, compiling findings into a structured report.
- Creates a formatted Google Doc with the final research report saved in your Drive.
What You Need
- A Needle account to access workflow automation and the AI agent.
- A Google account with permissions to create documents via the Google Docs connector.
- API connectors set up for the AI agent and Google Docs within your Needle platform.
How the Flow Works
| Step | Node | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Manual Trigger | Starts the workflow with a research question input (e.g., "What are the latest breakthroughs in quantum computing in 2025?"). |
| 2 | AI Agent | Receives the question and performs a thorough web search using integrated tools. It browses relevant web pages, extracts key insights, and compiles all gathered information into a structured report containing a title, summary, key findings, a full report, and a list of sources with URLs. |
| 3 | Google Docs Creation | Takes the structured report from the AI agent and creates a Google Document formatted with sections for summary, key findings, full report, and sources — making it easy to read and share. |
Output
The end result is a comprehensive Google Doc stored in your Google Drive. It contains:
- A clear summary of the research topic
- Bullet-point key findings
- A detailed report body
- All source links with URLs
This gives you a ready-to-use research document you can reference or share immediately.
Notes
- The quality of the report depends on the clarity of the initial question. Be specific for better results.
- Ensure your Google account has sufficient permissions to create documents via API.
- The AI agent's browsing capabilities rely on publicly available web content, so coverage may vary by topic.
- You can customize the input question by triggering the workflow manually with a different query each time.
