Want to build your first research agent? Here's the no-BS approach:

Start dead simple. Create an Agent that actually does something predictable - nail down its behavior patterns and what comes out the other end. Then layer in your search and extraction capabilities. Hook up both flavors of memory: the quick-recall stuff and the long-term database storage.

Once it's running? Test the hell out of it. Run multiple cycles, check if outputs make sense. Don't overthink version one - just make sure the foundation works before adding complexity.
