Runs on demandReads your dataSearches the web [Deploy this agent](https://calendly.com/jeel-fieldcamp/30min)[Browse all agents →](https://fieldcamp.ai/ai-agents/) A real template from the FieldCamp marketplace, configured on your operation. Setup included in your plan. ## About this agent Where it came from Ships in the FieldCamp agent marketplace — the general-purpose analyst for every question the other agents weren't built for. Every week produces questions that die unanswered because answering means an hour someone doesn't have: which ZIP codes drive our best margins? What's a fair price for hydro-jetting in this market? Did the spring campaign customers stick around? The data exists — in your records, on the web — behind an hour of assembly. The Research Agent is the hour, on demand. Ask in plain language; it decides what to pull from your FieldCamp records, what to search outside, and how to put them together — and answers with its sources shown. The questions you stopped asking become questions you just ask. ## What it actually does Trigger: Manual — ask it anything 1. 1 Takes your question`receive_question` Plain language, asked in chat — operational, financial, or market-facing. 2. 2 Mines your records`query_fieldcamp_data` Jobs, clients, invoices, visits — whatever the question touches internally. 3. 3 Searches the outside`web_search` Market rates, benchmarks, suppliers — when the answer isn't in your data. 4. 4 Answers with sources`compose_answer` A structured answer that shows where every claim came from. What you get Sourced answers to the questions that used to die on the someday list — in minutes, on demand. ## A run, as you’d see it Agent runs land on a timeline — what fired, what the agent found, and the action waiting for a human. This is that screen. Question asked Manual · via chat 90% confidencePending Details Question "Best-margin ZIP codes this year?" Summary Top margin ZIPs: 89117 (38%), 89134 (35%), 89052 (33%) — driven by maintenance-plan density, not job size. Worst: 89030 at 14%, drive time eats it. Full table with job counts and sources attached. DismissOpen answerRun log keeps every step Answers questions; takes no actions. The safest agent in the library to hand the whole team. ## By trade Same agent, configured to how your vertical actually works. [HVAC](https://fieldcamp.ai/industries/hvac/) Equipment-spec lookups mid-job: "what's the refrigerant for this model?" — answered at the curb. [Landscaping](https://fieldcamp.ai/industries/landscaping/) Plant and material sourcing questions hit the web with your job context attached. ## Questions, answered ### What kinds of questions can it handle? Anything answerable from your records plus the public web: operational ("average days from estimate to acceptance?"), financial ("margin by job type last quarter?"), market ("going rate for drain camera inspections here?"). It tells you when a question needs data neither source has. ### How do I trust the answers? Every answer shows its work — which records it queried, which sources it read, links included. Treat it like a sharp analyst: check the sources on the answers that drive big decisions. ### Can my whole team use it? Yes — it respects FieldCamp's role permissions, so each person's questions run against what they're allowed to see. Techs ask spec questions; owners ask margin questions. Details Availability In the FieldCamp marketplace Category Research Trigger Manual — ask it anything Typical cost per run $0.05–$0.30 per question Scales with the question — "how many jobs did we do in Henderson" costs cents; "benchmark our pricing against the metro" costs a coffee.
