Imagine typing ANY question and getting a perfectly organized answer with sources, summaries, AND a knowledge graph... instantly!

That's the power of the AI Research Assistant we're building TODAY using Motia, the backend framework that's changing the game for AI agents!

This isn't just another tutorial – it's a peek into the future of AI workflows.

See how Motia's event-driven magic lets you chain together complex tasks: Accepting your query, Generating search ideas with Gemini, Scouring the web, Deep-diving into content analysis, Extracting key concepts, Delivering a full research report.

We'll start coding LIVE (well, almost!) and you'll see just how FAST and SIMPLE it is to get a powerful agent running.
