Analysts were spending hours getting to confidence.

Deep research is slow because the hard part is not one search. It is deciding what is relevant, extracting what matters, finding gaps, and following those gaps until the answer is complete.

Infodrops needed to behave like a patient analyst: explore, score, extract, follow up, and return a useful brief instead of a pile of links.

A full SaaS around an agentic research loop.

We built the web app, job orchestration, billing, research pipeline, report export, and real-time progress feed.

  • Next.js, React, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, TanStack Query, and markdown-exportable reports
  • Fastify for auth, jobs, orchestration, Stripe subscriptions, billing, and dunning
  • Python NLP microservice for keyword clustering and sentiment
  • Firecrawl search/crawl, Supabase Postgres, result caching, Docker Compose, and Fly.io deploys

Built as a product, not a prompt.

The platform handles the business layer around the AI: authenticated job management, admin oversight, subscriptions, caching, exports, deployments, and tests.

In their words

I started this company not knowing what would happen; less than a month with Ego Eimi and I already had a working product. Amazing!
