# Live Research

> | Produce a deep, multi-source, cited research brief on a topic from live web data using Bright Data's Discover API (intent-ranked web search + parsed page content). Use when the user wants "live research", to "research <topic deeply", "research the latest on", "write a report on", "give me a briefing / literature review / market scan", "find and synthesize everything about", or otherwise wants a synthesized, source-grounded answer rather than a list of links. Decomposes the question into multiple intent-ranked Discover queries, pulls page content, deduplicates and ranks by relevance, then synthesizes a structured brief with inline citations. Built on the discover-api skill. For competitor-specific intel use competitive-intel; for social/brand sentiment use brand-listening; for a retrieval system (not a one-off report) use rag-pipeline.
