Solve is Rocket’s research engine. Before you build anything, Solve helps you validate ideas, size markets, run competitive analysis, and answer complex business questions. Solve has two modes: Light Solve for fast, conversational research on Free and Pro, and Full Solve for deeper, longer-form research. On Rocket and Booster, Rocket routes each query to Light Solve or Full Solve automatically based on the prompt. Type a question in plain language and get back a structured, evidence-backed output built from live data. Start with the quick start guide to run your first analysis.
Solve overview

How Solve is different

Solve produces complete research deliverables, not links or summaries. Tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity give you conversational answers. Solve gives you a structured, multi-source report with an executive summary, supporting evidence, and actionable recommendations.
Solve works best with specific, well-scoped questions. Vague prompts like “tell me about AI” produce broad results. See question-framing tips for guidance.

Light Solve vs Full Solve

Light Solve is for fast answers and quick iteration. Full Solve is for deeper diligence and board-ready depth. Rocket routes each query automatically; there is no manual mode selector. Free and Pro users always run Light Solve. Pro does not include Full Solve. On Rocket and Booster, routing is automatic based on the prompt. There is no manual mode selector on Free, Pro, Rocket, or Booster. For the full breakdown, including how to request a report format in your prompt, see Light Solve.

Light Solve

Fast structured answers with visual summaries. PDF, PPT, HTML, and PRD are supported in Light Solve on all plans.

Solve compared to Intelligence

Rocket has two research capabilities that serve different purposes. Solve answers a question once. Intelligence watches for changes over time. The two work well together: a Solve report can scope what you monitor, and Intelligence signals can trigger new Solve questions.

How Full Solve works

Every Full Solve task follows the same pipeline from question to finished report. Light Solve may ask conversational follow-ups in chat when a prompt is vague, but it does not use prompt intelligence or decompose the query. The steps below apply to Full Solve only.
1

You ask a question

Type any business question in plain language from the Solve input. Pick a suggestion category (Strategy, Product, GTM, Sales, Competition, What to build) or write your own.
2

Full Solve clarifies if needed

For ambiguous prompts, Full Solve uses prompt intelligence before starting. This sharpens scope and avoids wasted effort.
3

Research objective is set

Full Solve defines the central research goal based on your question and any clarifying answers. This anchors every subsequent research stream.
4

Query decomposition

Full Solve breaks the question into its component dimensions. Each dimension becomes an independent research query. You can watch these decomposed queries appear in chat as research begins.
5

Parallel agent research

Each query runs as a separate stream, powered by its own agent. Streams run simultaneously rather than in sequence. For each stream, the chat shows what the agent researched, which tools it used, what it found, and how it assessed the findings.
6

Synthesis and report

Findings from all streams merge into a structured report with an executive summary, detailed analysis, supporting evidence, and recommendations. Full Solve typically takes about 45 minutes; some reports take longer. A Final report link appears in chat. Click it to open the report in the right panel.
You can enrich research before and during a task. Use @-mentions to pull findings from other tasks, or attach files and URLs as source material. After the report is delivered, Full Solve suggests follow-up questions so you can drill into specific findings without re-framing from scratch.
