How Solve is different
Solve produces complete research deliverables, not links or summaries. The table below compares it with traditional search engines and chatbot tools.| Search | Chatbot | Solve | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | Links | A summary from training data | A structured, multi-source report |
| Research effort | You do the work | None, but shallow | Done for you, in depth |
| Live data | Yes, but unstructured | No | Yes, synthesized |
| Output format | Ten blue links | Paragraph answer | Executive summary, analysis, evidence, recommendations |
| Follow-up | New search | Some memory | Builds on full conversation and project context |
Solve works best with specific, well-scoped questions. Vague prompts like “tell me about AI” produce broad results. See question-framing tips for guidance.
Solve compared to Intelligence
Rocket has two research capabilities that serve different purposes.| Solve | Intelligence | |
|---|---|---|
| When to use | You have a specific question right now | You want ongoing awareness of changes |
| How it works | One-time research task, produces a structured report | Continuous monitoring, delivers signals over time |
| Output | A report with data, analysis, and recommendations | A dashboard of alerts, changes, and trends |
| Task type | Solve task | Intelligence task |
| Example | ”What is Stripe’s current pricing model?" | "Alert me when Stripe changes their pricing page” |
How Solve works
The diagram below shows the research pipeline from question to finished report.- You ask a question. Type any business question in plain language from the Solve input box. You can select one of the suggestion categories (Strategy, Product, GTM, Sales, Competition, What to build) or type a custom question. Solve classifies it into one of nine intelligence types automatically.
- Solve clarifies if needed. For ambiguous prompts, Solve asks clarifying questions before it begins research. This sharpens scope and avoids wasted effort.
- Core job to be done. Solve defines the core research objective based on your question and any clarifying answers. This anchors every subsequent research stream.
- Query decomposition. Solve breaks the question into its constituent dimensions. Each dimension becomes an independent research query. You can see these decomposed queries in the chat as they appear.
- Parallel agent research. Each decomposed query runs as a separate research stream, powered by its own agent. Streams execute simultaneously, not sequentially. For each stream, the chat reveals:
- What the agent researched and which tools it used
- Positives and negatives found in the data
- Specific data points, tables, and evidence collected
- How the agent assessed, analyzed, and mapped the findings
- Synthesis and report. Findings from all streams merge into a structured report with an executive summary, detailed analysis, supporting evidence, and recommendations. A Final report link appears in the chat. Select it to open the report in the right-side panel.
