Research Configuration

Configure default parameters for research missions to control how MAESTRO's agents plan, execute, and synthesize research tasks.

Research Configuration Interface

Overview

Research configuration allows you to fine-tune over 30 parameters that control the depth, breadth, and quality of research missions.

Quick Setup

  1. Navigate to Settings → Research
  2. Choose a preset or enable AI-powered configuration
  3. Adjust parameters as needed (optional)
  4. Click "Save & Close"

Configuration Options

Usage Tips

Choosing the Right Configuration

Research Type Recommended Setting Key Adjustments
Quick Facts Quick & Simple Low rounds, minimal depth
General Research Balanced Default settings
Academic Review Academic Paper High document focus
Current News Current Events Web-focused, recent data
Complex Analysis Deep Analysis Maximum iterations

Performance Optimization

  • For Speed: Reduce rounds, questions, and iterations
  • For Quality: Increase writing passes and research rounds
  • For Coverage: Increase max questions and search results
  • For Memory: Adjust context limits and max notes

Common Issues

  • Slow research: Reduce concurrent requests or iteration limits
  • Insufficient depth: Increase research rounds and max questions
  • Memory errors: Lower context limits and max notes
  • Missing information: Increase search results and rounds
