## Super-charged Chat: Multi-step Intelligence

DarcyIQ can handle complex, multi-step requests that would typically require multiple tools or applications. With a single prompt, DarcyIQ can execute a series of interconnected tasks to deliver comprehensive results.

### Example: Competitive Analysis Workflow

**Prompt: "Get my Acme Corp data, research their competitors, analyze their strengths and weaknesses, compile a SWOT diagram with a summary."**

| Prompt execution | "Research Acme Corp, find their main competitors, and create a SWOT analysis diagram" |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Step 1**       | DarcyIQ searches for Acme Corp across your internal knowledge bases and the web       |
| **Step 2**       | Identifies and researches top competitors from industry sources                       |
| **Step 3**       | Analyzes strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats                            |
| **Step 4**       | Creates a visual SWOT diagram as an artifact                                          |
| **Step 5**       | Provides a summary with links to sources                                              |
| **Result**       | Complete competitive analysis delivered in a single conversation                      |

This multi-step intelligence allows you to delegate complex research and analysis tasks that would normally take hours of work across multiple applications.

### More Multi-step Capabilities

| Request Type           | Description                                                       | Example                                                                  |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Client Preparation** | Research client, find previous interactions, summarize key points | "Prepare me for tomorrow's meeting with XYZ Inc."                        |
| **Technical Research** | Compare technologies, find use cases, create architecture diagram | "Compare AWS Lambda vs. Azure Functions and diagram best implementation" |
| **Content Creation**   | Research topic, outline structure, draft content                  | "Create a blog post about AI trends in consulting"                       |
| **Financial Analysis** | Gather financial data, analyze trends, visualize results          | "Analyze our Q3 performance and create charts comparing to competitors"  |

## Personalized Experience

DarcyIQ Chat is automatically personalized to each user based on:

| Personalization Factor   | Description                                                             |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **User Identity**        | Recognizes you by name and remembers preferences                        |
| **Professional Role**    | Understands your job responsibilities and tailors responses accordingly |
| **Organization Context** | Knows your company and its description for relevant recommendations     |
| **Time Awareness**       | Considers the current date and time for contextual responses            |

This personalization happens automatically when you start chatting, with DarcyIQ tailoring responses to match your specific context, making interactions more relevant and helpful.

## Contextual Intelligence

DarcyIQ Chat can access and understand your organization's content through several integrated tools:

### Universal Search Integration

Instantly search across all your content within DarcyIQ:

| Content Type         | Description                                                                  |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Meetings**         | Find recordings, transcripts, action items, and summaries from past meetings |
| **Research Reports** | Access AI-generated research on various topics created within DarcyIQ        |
| **Workflows**        | Locate previous workflow executions, proposals, and their outputs            |

Simply ask about any content you've created or accessed in DarcyIQ, and the assistant will find and reference it directly in the conversation.

### Knowledge Base Access

DarcyIQ can search through your organization's custom knowledge bases to provide answers based on your internal documentation:

* **Product Knowledge**: Technical specifications and documentation
* **Company Policies**: HR policies, compliance guidelines, and procedures
* **Project Documentation**: Project plans, requirements, and updates

Each knowledge base is individually accessible, allowing for targeted, precise responses from your organization's trusted sources.

### Web Research with Search Subagents

When information isn't available in your internal systems, DarcyIQ deploys **Search Subagents** — dedicated AI researchers that search the web, visit pages, and return only the specific information you need.

Unlike a simple web search, Search Subagents work like a research assistant:

| Capability               | Description                                                                                                    |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Multi-query research** | The subagent runs multiple targeted searches to cover a topic from different angles                            |
| **Deep page reading**    | Visits promising pages to extract detailed information beyond search snippets                                  |
| **Source verification**  | Cross-references claims across multiple sources for accuracy                                                   |
| **Inline citations**     | Results include source links so you can verify and explore further                                             |
| **Conversation memory**  | The subagent remembers previous searches in the conversation, so follow-up questions build on earlier research |
| **Parallel deployment**  | DarcyIQ can launch multiple subagents simultaneously to research different aspects of a complex question       |

You'll see live progress as the subagent searches and reads pages, with the final synthesized answer delivered back into the conversation.
