FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Draft Research Brief:

What do I need to put in the packet?

Add readable source files, then upload brief-request.docx last. Include your question and audience. If either is missing, the Agent leaves a note requesting a corrected brief.

Can I use my research brief template?

Yes. Choose a template in the shared library or set a default. If your choice is missing, the Agent uses your default and notes the change.

What if sources disagree or a file cannot be read?

The brief marks affected findings as unresolved. A note names the specific file or claim so you can review the gap.

What if the PDF cannot be made?

You still get the editable DOCX. The result note names the PDF blocker so you can resolve it.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
