# Researcher

> Run deep research on people to uncover their recent activity and generate AI-powered insights.

The Researcher lets you analyze a person's recent social activity — posts, comments, and reactions — and generate AI-powered insights about their interests, priorities, and buying signals. Results appear in two tabs: **Activity** and **Insights**.

## Run research on a person

From any person record, click **Run research** and choose a time range:

| Time Range | What you get                    |
| ---------- | ------------------------------- |
| 1 week     | Recent activity snapshot        |
| 1 month    | Short-term trends and interests |
| 3 months   | Medium-term patterns            |
| 6 months   | Comprehensive activity history  |

Longer time ranges analyze more content and consume more [research credits](/researcher/credits).

You can also choose whether to include AI-generated insights. Running with AI costs more credits but produces organization-level insights in the Insights tab.

## Activity tab

The Activity tab shows all research runs grouped by person. Each entry displays:

* **Person info** — name, job title, and company
* **Status** — where the research run stands
* **Timestamp** — when the run was triggered

### Research run statuses

| Status              | Meaning                         |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Pending             | Queued and waiting to start     |
| In Progress         | Currently analyzing activity    |
| Completed           | Finished successfully           |
| Partially Completed | Finished with some data missing |
| Failed              | Could not complete the research |

### Trigger types

Each run shows how it was triggered:

* **Research** — you manually ran research on the person
* **Insight Generation** — AI insights were generated from the research
* **Tracked Account** — automatically researched via a tracked account

When a person has multiple runs, click to expand and see the full history.

## Insights tab

The Insights tab shows AI-generated insights grouped by company. Each insight includes:

* **Title and description** — a summary of what was discovered
* **Category** — the type of insight (color-coded)
* **Person** — who the insight relates to
* **Sources** — the signals that contributed to the insight

### View insight details

Click any insight card to open the detail panel, which shows:

* The full insight context (rendered as markdown)
* An **Evidence** section listing every source signal, including the original content (posts, comments) and who was involved

## Person details panel

Click a person's name in either tab to open the details panel. The panel has four tabs:

* **Overview** — company details, AI tags, and signal summary
* **Signals** — all detected signals grouped by category
* **AI Insights** — insights specific to this person with source signals
* **Research** — full history of research runs for this person

From the Research tab, you can trigger a new research run directly.

## Interpret research results

Research results surface patterns you can act on:

* **Content themes** — topics a person consistently engages with
* **Engagement patterns** — who and what they interact with most
* **Buying signals** — indicators of interest in products or services like yours
* **Company-level trends** — when multiple people from the same company show similar activity, insights are grouped together

Use the Insights tab for strategic, company-level intelligence. Use the Activity tab to monitor individual research status and drill into specific people.
