# Continuous Research

> Set up recurring research that runs on a schedule and tracks how answers evolve over time

Continuous research runs the same research on a recurring schedule (daily, weekly, or monthly) and tracks how the answer evolves over time.

## Creating continuous research

1. Navigate to your workspace and click **New Continuous Research** in the sidebar.
2. Type your research question in the input field.
3. Configure the settings (see below).
4. Click **Send** to create the topic and run the first research.

## Settings

### Schedule

Choose how often the research should run:

* **Daily** - Available on the Team plan only.
* **Weekly** - Available on all plans.
* **Monthly** - Available on all plans.

<Tip>
  If you're on the Solo plan and need daily monitoring, upgrade to the Team plan.
</Tip>

### Brand context

Toggle the **Brand context** switch to include your workspace's brand context in each research run.

### Research depth

Same depth levels as ad-hoc research: Auto, Minimal, Low, Medium, High, Extra High.

### Active toggle

Use the **Active** switch to pause or resume a continuous research topic without deleting it. When inactive, the topic will not run on its schedule.

## Viewing results

When you open a continuous research topic, you'll see:

* A **date selector** showing all past research runs.
* The **AI answer** for the selected date.
* **Source citations** for the selected run.

Click different dates to compare how the answer has changed over time.

## Managing continuous research

* **Deactivate** - Stop a topic from running without deleting it.
* **Delete** - Permanently remove a topic and all its results.
* **Reactivate** - Turn a deactivated topic back on.

Access these actions by hovering over a topic in the sidebar and clicking the trash icon.

## Dashboard

The workspace dashboard shows a table of all continuous research topics with their status, schedule, last run, and next scheduled run.
