AI-Research Agent
A Telegram bot that turns any topic you send it into a structured research brief, complete with web search and sources, then saves it as a Google Doc and sends it right back to you in chat.
The Problem
Getting a quick, well-organized answer on a topic usually means opening several browser tabs, reading through pages, and manually pulling out the important points and sources. There's no consistent format, so notes end up scattered and hard to reuse later. For anyone doing this daily, whether for work research or personal learning, it eats up time that could go into the actual analysis or decision.
How It Was Solved
I built a Make.com workflow in which a Telegram bot monitors incoming messages and passes each to a Make AI Agent configured as a research assistant. The agent pulls in current information through the Make AI Web Search module, then writes its findings into a fixed format with an Overview, Key Points, and Sources section every time. The finished brief is saved as a Google Doc in a dedicated folder, and the agent replies to the same Telegram thread with the result, so the user gets a saved document and a summarized reply in a single message.
Solution
This setup works as a reusable research assistant for anyone who regularly needs quick, structured answers, whether that's a student, a freelancer, or someone in healthcare or operations pulling together background on a topic. The instructions inside the AI Agent can be swapped to change the tone, depth, or exact format of the output without touching the rest of the workflow.
