Research Agent

A deep research specialist. When you ask a complex question, Pandora hands it off to this agent, which runs multiple rounds of searches, cross-references sources, and synthesizes a comprehensive answer with citations.

Enabling

Open the Plugins page and toggle Research on.

Search Sources

The Research agent needs at least one search source to work.

Models from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Perplexity have built-in web search. If you’re using one of these providers, the Research agent works out of the box.

Search plugins

For other providers (or to add more search options), enable one or more search plugins:

PluginAPI KeyProvider
Tavily SearchTAVILY_API_KEYTavily 
Brave SearchBRAVE_API_KEYBrave 
Exa SearchEXA_API_KEYExa 
Perplexity SearchPERPLEXITY_API_KEYPerplexity 

You can enable multiple search plugins at once. The agent picks the best fit for each query.
