Research a topic and verify every citation
A multi-agent setup gathers sources, drafts a brief, and checks each citation before delivering the final write-up.
- What they did
- They installed the system with a single curl command from the terminal, then entered a topic to start the workflow. One agent searched papers, repositories, documentation, and the wider web; another acted as a reviewer and flagged weaknesses with severity levels; a writer turned the gathered notes into a paper-style brief. A verifier then checked each citation and removed broken links, while extra agents could repeat experiments on local or cloud GPUs or compare papers against codebases.
- How it went
- The process produced a fully cited research brief with claims tied back to sources. The post did not report any performance numbers or mention specific failures beyond the link cleanup step.
- Tips
- Use it when you need a source-grounded summary and want weak claims challenged before delivery. Make sure your topic is specific, and pause to confirm anything that would trigger sending, submitting, or other irreversible actions.
Try it yourself with Manus
Research [topic] and produce a brief of about [length]. Gather evidence from academic papers, code repositories, documentation, and the web, then write a concise draft with citations for every factual claim. Next, review your own draft like a skeptical peer reviewer, point out the weakest or least supported parts, and revise them. Verify that each citation exists and supports the sentence it is attached to, removing any dead or unusable links. Before you do anything irreversible, such as submitting or sending the final version, pause and ask me to confirm. Finish with the brief, a reference list, and a short note listing any claims you could not fully verify.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
