Topic Agent
From a vague idea to a researchable question
Narrow a broad field into a researchable question with scope, novelty, and feasibility checks.
Built for the way research actually happens
The Topic Agent sits at the very start of your research journey. Drop in a broad field — climate adaptation, social media use, supply chain risk — and it walks you through narrowing it down to a researchable question that is scoped to your timeline, novel enough to matter, and feasible with the resources you have.
It runs a scope check (is the question too broad or too narrow?), a novelty check (has it been answered already?), and a feasibility check (can you actually collect the data you would need?). Each check produces a written explanation, not just a score, so you can defend your topic choice to your supervisor.
Three steps, every time
- 01
Enter your field
Type a broad area of interest or paste a paragraph describing what you are curious about.
- 02
Review scope, novelty, feasibility
The agent runs three checks and surfaces candidate questions, each annotated with reasoning.
- 03
Lock your question
Pick one — or write your own — and the agent scaffolds a starter outline into the Writing Editor.
What this gives you
- Avoid topics that are too broad, too narrow, or already saturated
- Get a written defense for your topic choice that your supervisor can review
- Move from idea to outline in a single sitting
- Save weeks of back-and-forth on supervisor topic approval
