Research Agents are a powerful feature in Moonlit Platform that automatically populate your Knowledge Base with relevant, up-to-date information from the web. This tool is especially useful for staying informed about specific topics or tracking competitors' content.
Deploying a Research Agent

- In the Research Agents section, click the "+" button to create a new agent.
- Configure your agent by specifying:
- Topic keyword
- Search types (e.g., web, news)
- Search country

How Research Agents Work
- Agents run daily, performing web searches based on your specified keyword and search types.
- They analyze the top 5 results for each search.
- New ranking pages are automatically added to your Knowledge Base.
Use Case: Tracking Competitor Content
You can use Research Agents to monitor specific websites. For example, to track HubSpot's SEO content:
- Set the topic keyword as:
site:hubspot.com "content marketing" - Select only the "Web" search type if you don't need news results.

- The log shows recent actions taken by the agent.
- The chart visualizes how often the agent adds new documents over time.
