What it means
A research AI is a tool that takes a question, breaks it into smaller questions, searches and reads sources, and then writes an answer or report. It differs from a chatbot that answers from memory alone. The output should point back to the sources it used, so a reader can check the work.
Research AIs vary in scope. Some stick to the open web. Others add paper databases, government statistics, company filings, or files you upload. Scope matters because an answer is only as complete as the sources the tool can reach. Ask what it searched before you trust what it wrote. A useful habit is to note which step of the process produced each claim you rely on. Ask for the plan and the source list before you read the findings.
