Research Configuration¶
Configure default parameters for research missions to control how MAESTRO's agents plan, execute, and synthesize research tasks.
Overview¶
Research configuration allows you to fine-tune over 30 parameters that control the depth, breadth, and quality of research missions.
Quick Setup¶
- Navigate to Settings → Research
- Choose a preset or enable AI-powered configuration
- Adjust parameters as needed (optional)
- Click "Save & Close"
Configuration Options¶
Presets¶
- Quick & Simple - Fast, minimal depth for quick questions
- Balanced - Default settings for most research tasks

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
