What You'll Build

An AI research agent that:

  • Accepts a research question or topic
  • Searches the web for relevant sources
  • Reads and extracts key information from pages
  • Synthesizes findings into a clean, structured report
  • Cites sources automatically
  • **The split-screen moment:** You type "Research the top 5 AI coding tools in 2025 and compare their pricing, features, and best use cases." On the other side of the screen, the agent starts working — searching, reading, thinking — and a formatted report assembles itself in real time. You didn't do any of it.

    Tools you'll use:

  • Claude API with tool use
  • Python (or Node.js — we'll show both)
  • Tavily API (free tier) for web search
  • Basic terminal / command line
