Research & Analysis Teams

Workflows that learn and get faster over time

For teams running repeated multi-step investigations — compliance reviews, competitive intelligence, incident post-mortems, due diligence — agents learn the procedure once and replay it on every similar query. The first month is exploration. By month two, the agent is referencing dozens of learned workflows and finishing 3× faster.

Procedural memory — agent learns from successes
3× faster on repeated workflow types
Captures pitfalls + verification criteria
★ prefix marks battle-tested procedures

Run our standard incident post-mortem on yesterday's payments outage

procedure:postmortem_v3pagerdutydatadoggithub:payments

Compliance review for the new vendor onboarding doc

procedure:vendor_review_v2soc2-controlsvendor-docs

Procedure matched. Checked all 14 SOC 2 controls + 3 known vendor pitfalls from prior reviews. 2 gaps flagged in section 4.2.

Specialist Agent Teams

Multi-agent delegation for complex enterprise workflows

Build a team of specialist agents that delegate to each other. A general research agent hands off SQL questions to a database expert. A support triage agent asks the code specialist about error messages. A briefing agent pulls customer data from a CRM specialist before drafting the final answer. Each agent stays focused on its strength; the parent integrates the results.

Agents delegate via discover_agents + delegate_to_agent
Each specialist owns its tools, prompt, and KB
Depth-limited at 2 levels — no infinite recursion
Parent agent integrates and cites all sub-results
