Start with a specific research question
Include the decision you are making, the region or date range, and the sources you prefer. For a product comparison, specify your budget and requirements. For a technical question, ask for original documentation or papers.
Follow the investigation
Meriq carries out multiple research steps instead of stopping at the first search result. The report brings the findings together with source links so you can inspect the underlying evidence.
Review the evidence and its limits
A citation lets you check a claim; it does not guarantee the claim is correct. Sources can disagree, be inaccessible, or omit important details. Ask for uncertainty and unresolved questions to be stated explicitly, and verify consequential findings.
Choose Research or Agent
Use Deep Research when the deliverable is a sourced explanation or comparison. Use Agent when you need code execution, file transformations, or a working output alongside the investigation.
A brief to try
Compare three residential heat pumps for a cold climate. Use manufacturer specifications, state the temperature conditions behind efficiency claims, and list any missing evidence. Deliver a comparison table with source links.
A useful report should separate the comparison, supporting evidence, uncertainties, and next questions. This is an example brief, not a published benchmark or a guarantee of results.
