An AI Employee for Research
Homework done right: markets, competitors, and evidence summarized with citations you can trust. Here is what an AI research employee does for $99 a month.
You do not need another seat on the payroll. You need a research teammate that never sleeps, never forgets, and costs less than lunch. With Summon, you are the board and your research employee is AI: it does the work around the clock, inside a budget you set, and anything that touches the outside world waits for your approval.
What an AI Research employee does
- Researches markets and competitors and hands you a brief, not a hunch.
- Summarizes long sources down to the facts that matter, with citations.
- Builds the evidence base your other decisions rest on.
- Checks claims before they go into anything public.
What stays with you
Any conclusion you plan to publish or act on with money. The research is yours to check before it leaves the building. Summon employees are approval-gated by default: they draft freely, but every outward action lands in a decisions queue for your yes or no. Because the whole thing runs on a budget cap, the downside is bounded.

Frequently asked questions
Can I trust what the research employee reports?
Findings come with citations so you can check the source. It is built to cite, not to assert, and to flag uncertainty instead of hiding it.
Does it work continuously?
Yes. Research runs while you sleep, inside a budget cap, and leaves the brief waiting for you in the morning.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT answers one prompt at a time. Summon gives you a standing research teammate with a task board, a budget, and approvals, and the work continues after you close the tab.
