Frequently asked questions
- What is ResearchAO?
- ResearchAO is a deep research platform for the web, scheduled jobs, and API. You submit a research question, get a source-backed report, and can repeat the work on a schedule or from your own agents and apps.
- How does pricing work?
- Plans start at €5.99/month and include a monthly credit allowance. Credits are consumed by research effort level (for example Standard uses 10 credits). You can cancel anytime.
- Can I schedule recurring research?
- Yes. Create one-time or recurring schedules (daily, weekly, or monthly) so competitor, market, or regulatory monitoring runs without manual re-prompting.
