🕵️ Research Desk

One topic, three sources, three briefings side by side.

🔑 Needs an OpenAI key. All three briefings run in parallel from one button.

Research Desk — the mini app, ready to run

The actual app, as it opens in NodeTool — built with the visual App Builder, no code.

What you put in

  • textResearch topic
  • choiceWho is it for?
  • textRSS feed

What you get out

  • TextResearch brief
  • TextHacker News
  • TextFeed digest

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Fill in a few fields

    Plain-language inputs — research topic, who is it for?, rss feed. No settings, no jargon.

  2. Step 2

    Click “Run the desk”

    The workflow runs behind the scenes — on your machine or with your own provider keys. You pay providers directly, or run local models for free.

  3. Step 3

    Watch results stream in

    Results appear live in the app: research brief, hacker news, feed digest.

It's an app until you want more

Every screen in this app runs a real NodeTool workflow. Open any of them on the canvas to swap models, change prompts, or add steps — then publish your remix as a new app for your team.
