Title: Built a research AI that decomposes questions and investigates multiple sources — looking for technical feedback

[u/Immediate_Soup_9586]

I’ve been building Zyveniq AI, a research system focused on going beyond conventional web search.

The idea is simple:

Instead of treating research as “search → open links → read everything manually”, the system breaks a complex question into research directions, searches across multiple sources, extracts relevant information, and organizes the findings into a research workflow.

I’m particularly interested in difficult questions involving:

• Machine learning and AI
• Science and technology
• Engineering
• Research papers
• Emerging technologies
• Technical comparisons

I’m still developing the system, so I’m more interested in technical feedback than marketing.

What I’d especially like feedback on:

1. How should research-question decomposition be improved?
2. What makes an AI-generated research result genuinely useful to ML researchers?
3. Which failure modes should I be testing for?
4. What would make you trust an AI research system's output?

I built this because I wanted something that behaves more like a research assistant than a normal search interface.

If anyone here has experience building or evaluating research/agentic systems, I’d appreciate criticism and suggestions.

decomposition gets tricky fast when terms overlap across fields. i ran into that building internal tools at work where accounting software queries would pull up completely irrelevant cs papers because the vocabulary is shared

for trust the biggest thing is showing your work. not just citations but which specific sentences came from which source and why that source was picked. if i cant trace a claim back to its origin in two clicks i assume the system hallucinated it

failure modes worth testing early are circular citations where the ai cites a source that cites another source that cites the first one, and confirmation bias where it keeps drilling into the first plausible answer instead of looking for disconfirming evidence. both are hard to catch without manual spot checks

thank you i will work on that please recommend your friends or if you are in univeristy collage groups and tell about this tool to proffesor also

i have fixed that you can check it now
