Market Research
helio / market-researchGive it the questions you need answered about a market. Your AI teammate researches across public sources, cross-checks claims, and writes a sourced brief — then keeps tracking the space weekly.
Research the market for AI-native workflow automation tools from these core questions: size, growth, top players, business models, and entry barriers. Write a sourced brief with each finding tagged multi-source, single-source, or inferred, then keep tracking the space weekly and report only what changed. Ask me what you need before you start.
Swap in your market and the core questions you need answered.
What is Market Research?
A teammate that researches a market against your core questions, cross-checks each finding across sources, and writes a sourced brief with a confidence label on every line. It then rechecks weekly and reports only the delta, so the brief doesn't go stale.
What it does
Any chatbot researches a market once. Helio runs it as a standing job — from your context, kept current, delivered to you.
| Owns the job, not just the brief | It builds the sourced brief, then owns the weekly recheck, so the market picture stays current without a manual re-pull. |
| Runs again without starting over | The brief and its sources are saved. Each weekly pass diffs against them instead of researching from scratch. |
| Works from your context | It researches reports, news, and player sites through the browser and keeps the brief in your Notion as the source of truth. |
| Keeps itself current | New entrants, funding, and policy shifts get folded into the same brief in place, so it doesn't age out. |
| Lands where you work | The weekly delta arrives in Slack, Lark, or email. You don't open Helio to see what moved. |
Three things it gets right
Confidence on every finding
Each line is tagged multi-source, single-source, or inferred, so you know what to double-check before acting on it.
Cross-checked before it concludes
A finding is confirmed against several sources before it's reported as fact, not repeated from one blog post.
A weekly delta, not a re-read
Each week reports only what changed, new entrants, funding, policy shifts, not the whole brief again.
What Market Research connects to.
Questions
- Does it make up numbers to fill gaps?
- No. Findings without solid support are labeled single-source or inferred rather than stated as fact — if the data isn't confidently there, the brief says so instead of guessing.
- How is this different from just searching myself?
- A search engine hands you links; you still read, cross-check, and organize them yourself. This researches in parallel, cross-checks claims across sources, and structures the result against your specific questions — then keeps tracking after the first brief is done.
- Does the brief go stale after it's written?
- Not if you turn on weekly tracking — it rechecks the same sources and reports only what changed, so you're not the one who has to remember to look again.
- Can it go deeper on one specific finding?
- Yes — ask it to dig into any specific point and it researches further or looks for a primary source, without starting the whole brief over.
