ARMES Research & Deep Analysis
Perform comprehensive, verified web investigations with Perplexity Sonar Pro and cited multi-source synthesis.
Deep Live Research vs Standard Search
Standard web search answers quick, discrete questions ("What is the stock price of Apple?"). But when tackling complex market landscapes, academic syntheses, technical evaluations, or competitive benchmarks, a standard web search query produces surface-level summaries.
ARMES Research is our specialized research tool powered by Perplexity and advanced multi-source consensus extraction.

Capabilities & Execution Flow
- Multi-Angle Query Expansion: Rather than executing one search, the engine decomposes your inquiry into 4–8 sub-queries exploring history, counter-arguments, technical specifications, and market data.
- Full Web Crawling: Deep source pages, whitepapers, academic PDFs, and corporate press releases are scraped and parsed for factual consistency.
- Consensus Validation: Contradictory claims between sources are highlighted rather than smoothed over, giving you an honest appraisal of industry consensus.
- Comprehensive Cited Reports: The output is formatted as a research brief with sourced citations:
Triggering ARMES Research
ARMES Research operates autonomously when engaged with capable agents. You do not need to toggle manual switches.
You can engage research in two ways:
- Automatic Activation: When you ask complex, comparative, or forward-looking inquiries, your agent autonomously recognizes that a simple web lookup is insufficient and activates ARMES Research to conduct a research investigation.
- Explicit Natural Language Request: Ask any capable agent directly in your prompt:
Conduct research on current commercial viability of solid-state EV batteries. Compare key manufacturer timelines with primary citations.
