Collect cited findings with a preset or custom brief and feed them into the rest of the Flowgen graph.
Where: Flowgen → left rail → Add → Research → Research
Key ideas
- Research modes: Choose a purpose-built preset or custom research/deep-research brief and depth.
- Cited output: The result keeps source links/citations alongside the text so downstream content remains grounded.
- Graph-aware: Research can feed Items, Text, Section, or agentic nodes and participates in run status, routes, and Flowie estimates.
- Research / Web Research card: ResearchNode uses the generic shared-card path. Run structured web research with modes, focus areas, sources, templates, sections, and downloadable reports.

Steps
- Create the Research node.
- Choose a preset or write the exact research question and depth.
- Run it and inspect sources/citations.
- Connect the output to the content/Items/Section node that should use the findings.
Two catalog labels, one contract
Research and Web Research both create the same RESEARCH node without a preset difference; the labels place the same capability in task-relevant catalog groups.
Card and inspector fields
- Research mode and deep maximum.
- Model and thinking level.
- Focus areas and competitor URLs.
- Template/custom sections and editable section plan.
- Report and optional dataset persistence.

Research / Web Research controls and presets
- Add path: Flowgen → Add → Website / Research & Insights → Research.
- Card: ResearchNode.
- Properties: genOutputNodes.tsx.
- Controls: Research mode/depth; model/thinking; focus areas; competitor URLs; templates/custom sections; section plan; save dataset.
- Opened surfaces: Full report preview; HTML/MD/PDF download.
- Research: Research-family Add entry.
- Web Research: Website-family alias; same NodeType and initialization.
Tips
- Ask for a structured schema when the result will drive Items or routing.
- Open the sources and verify current/high-stakes claims before publishing.
Troubleshooting
Downstream output loses citations
Map citation/source fields explicitly in Transform or the target schema instead of passing only the prose field.
