Curious to crowd-check something any researchers/analysts here who still have to loop in an external team (or a colleague) just to get basic data pulls, literature reviews, or first-pass analysis done? Not the deep, judgment-heavy stuff just the grunt work that eats days before the "real" research even starts.

If that's you what's the actual bottleneck?

• Is it that the tooling/agents just aren't there yet?

• Is it trust you don't believe the output without a human checking it?

• Or is it that setting up an agent/pipeline yourself takes longer than just asking a person?

Trying to figure out where an out-of-box research agent would genuinely save time vs. where people still want (and will keep wanting) a human in the loop.

Launching Trilo today has been a really eye-opening experience.

Not just because of the upvotes or traffic, but because of the conversations.

We heard a lot of similar things:

Too many tools
