What it does
A research outline for any topic: the list of things to compare and the questions to answer about each one, filled in with results found online. You get a clear frame before the real research starts. It first writes an initial list of items and fields from what the AI already knows, and you confirm or change it. Then you pick a time range, and a search agent looks the web up to add missing items and fields, with a strict fixed prompt. The result is saved as an outline file that later steps can use. It browses and scrapes web sites, so results depend on what is online. It suits technology choices, benchmarks and academic surveys.
