Use case
Turn market research into a repeatable workflow
ResearchAO investigates markets, industries, companies, trends, competitive landscapes, opportunities and risks — then produces source-backed research you can run once or schedule to refresh.
What should a market research report include?
A market research report normally defines the market, identifies key participants, explains relevant trends, evaluates opportunities and risks, and shows the evidence behind its findings. ResearchAO organises public-web research into that kind of structured report with citations.

- Can AI automate market research?
- ResearchAO can automate the research workflow — searching public sources, organising findings, and producing a source-backed report — on demand or on a schedule. It does not replace primary interviews, proprietary datasets, or licensed market-data subscriptions.
- How do you research a competitive market?
- Define the market and geography, list the questions that matter, run deep research against public sources, then optionally schedule refreshes. Pair market research with competitor research when you need company-level depth.
- Can market research run automatically?
- Yes. After you validate a brief, use scheduled research to run the same market questions weekly or monthly and compare reports over time.
