Research

Given a person, company, or email thread, Research returns relevant context so other Scheduling agents can answer questions like “what do I know about Alice?” or prep a brief before a meeting.

What it does

• Acts as a shared context source for the Strategist and Lifecycle primaries — they ask Research for a summary of who/what is involved in a conversation and use the result inside their own briefs.
• Pulls from your Google Workspace data (email, calendar) once that plugin is connected.
• Runs in the background. There is no panel or chat surface of its own.

Settings

None. Research has no user-configurable settings today.

Commands

None. Research is invoked by other plugins, not by typing a command.

Integrations

• Google Workspace — required. Research depends on it being installed and connected; it boots after Google Workspace each time Agentum.app starts.
• Gemini / your default LLM — used to summarize the context it gathers. Configure your LLM provider once in Agentum’s main settings and Research will use it automatically.

Known limits

• Currently a skeleton. The lookup and venue-suggestion paths are stubbed and return empty results. Install Research now so the agents that depend on it have a target to call, but expect “no context found” notes in briefs until the full implementation ships.
• No on-device caching of results yet — every brief request re-asks Research from scratch once the real implementation lands.
• Internet access is required (Google Workspace data + LLM summarization both go over the network).
