# Research and insights

> Research public topics and connected account performance with sourced reports inside brand chat.

Research runs inside brand chat and returns findings to the same thread.

## Research lanes

* **External public research** for companies, markets, competitors, websites, trends, public profiles, and public social posts.
* **Connected account insights** for first-party performance questions across linked social accounts.
* **TikTok discovery research** for niche, creator, trend, and content exploration when the research service is available.

Use `/research` for non-SEO research. Use [`/seo`](/core-workflows/seo-agent) for page audits, URL comparisons, schema, content gaps, and AI search readiness.

Research tasks often appear as specialist run cards in chat while daoco gathers sources or connected-account data. Results stream back into the same thread when the run completes.

## Start research

```text theme={null}
/research Compare how three competitors position their onboarding pages.
```

```text theme={null}
/research Which recent posts from our connected accounts performed best, and why?
```

<Info>
  Research uses basic tokens. Longer or multi-step research may consume more than a simple chat response.

<Note>
  Connected-account research depends on provider permissions and available analytics. LinkedIn personal profiles may return account-level insights without importing native posts, while LinkedIn pages and other supported accounts can use richer import and post-analysis flows when available.
