Every knowledge worker needs to research—markets, competitors, technologies, trends, best practices. But research is time-consuming, scattered across dozens of tabs, and hard to organize into something useful.
Ari changes that. She's your always-available research partner who can investigate anything, synthesize information from multiple sources, and deliver structured findings you can actually use.
Research Without the Grind
Traditional research means:
- Opening 30 browser tabs
- Skimming articles while getting distracted
- Copying snippets into messy documents
- Losing track of sources
- Running out of time before synthesizing anything useful
With Ari, you just ask:
"Research the competitive landscape for project management tools and create a report."
"What are the latest trends in AI-powered customer service? I need to brief my team."
"Find best practices for running effective sprint retrospectives."
Ari does the digging, organizes the findings, and delivers a structured report—often saved directly to your Google Drive.

Tips for Better Research
Be Specific About What You Need
Instead of:
"Research competitors"
Try:
"Research the pricing strategies and key differentiators of [Competitor A], [Competitor B], and [Competitor C], focused on their enterprise offerings."
The more specific your request, the more useful the output.
Specify the Format
"Create a one-page summary I can share with my team."
"Make a comparison table of the top 5 options."
"Write this as a brief I can send to my manager."
Ask for Recommendations
"Based on your research, what do you recommend?"
"Which option seems best for our situation and why?"
Ari can synthesize findings into actionable recommendations.
Iterate and Refine
Research is rarely one-and-done. Ask follow-up questions:
"Go deeper on the second point."
"Can you find more recent data on this?"
"What are the counterarguments to this approach?"
Save and Build On
Ask Ari to save findings to your notes for future reference:
"Save the key points to my notes under 'Competitor Research'."
"Remember this for when I'm preparing the board presentation."
