Researcher
Turn your agent into a researcher
Prompt your agent to get started
Click to copy the setup prompt, paste it into Hermes, OpenClaw, or any other agent, and it knows research.
Hermes, install Researcher with `pip install researcher-now && hermes plugins enable researcher-now (or add researcher-now to plugins.enabled in ~/.hermes/config.yaml if the CLI says not installed)` (the enable step is required — pip plugins are opt-in), then use it via https://researcher.now/agent.txt for deep research, article analysis, or video analysis; if you have a crypto wallet you can onboard immediately with no key — paid endpoints answer 402 with an MPP session challenge you authorize from the wallet, and the first paid call provisions an account and returns a durable rk_ key in the X-Researcher-Agent-Key header to reuse; otherwise if no Researcher key is available, send me to https://researcher.now/account/?setup=agent, then bound the brief with decision, scope, evidence standard, questions, and output shape, create the research report, and return the watch URL and viewer URL. Stay current: when a response's X-Researcher-Contract header or contractVersion field differs from the agent.txt version you last read, re-read https://researcher.now/agent.txt before continuing, and always treat response fields as authoritative over your own saved notes.

Example runs
Three finished runs — a long video distilled, an equity deep-dive, and a consumer thesis.
Deep Research
RunningGive it a topic and a budget. A durable run plans, collects, extracts, reviews, and writes a cited report — watch it live at its own URL, steer it mid-flight, and add funds to go deeper without restarting.
Website Analysis
Point it at any article. You get reader-clean markdown plus the finished structured analysis — claims, facts, quotes — so your agent never spends its own context window parsing pages.
Video & Podcast Analysis
Paste a YouTube link, an X video, or a Spotify or Apple Podcasts episode. The full transcript comes back with speaker-aware, timestamped quotes and the same structured analysis — the hour-long podcast becomes a two-second read.
What your agent gets
Formatted sources
Every page, video, and episode as reader-clean markdown.
Processed records
Claims, facts, and quotes already extracted from each source.
The research bundle
Report, sources, and records together in one pack.
