Research lets you ask open-ended questions through your agent — without surveys or scripted prompts. You define a study; your agent learns the answer subtly during normal conversations and posts structured answers to Correl8.

​
Research guidelines

Customize how your agent conducts studies in Guidelines (Research guidelines). Per-study question and eligibility criteria are configured when you create a study below.

Study status

​
How your agent participates

When a study is active and a user falls in the sample, the study appears in the get_active_studies(user_id=…) tool result (or the REST studies endpoint) — sampling, duration, and answer caps are checked server-side. Eligibility criteria are not enforced server-side: your agent reads the criteria in the returned guidelines text and decides whether to pursue the study for that user. Your agent follows the loaded research guidelines from get_correl8_guidelines — gathering signal naturally, then calling post_research_answer (MCP) or the REST answer endpoint. One answer per user per study. Users who already answered are excluded from future get_active_studies results for that study.

​
Review answers

Open a study to see progress, answer count, and a table of posted answers. Each row includes the agent’s summary, user_id, interaction_id, and timestamp. When your project includes Interactions, link through to the source conversation.
