In their own words

Gab AI Research Assistant

Gab AI Research Assistant produces structured reports with citations from a topic and inputs such as audience, preferred source types, research depth, and focus questions. Reports can include an executive summary, findings, detailed analysis, sources, counterpoints, debate, and open questions. Users can choose Quick scan, Standard, Deep, or Exhaustive depth; report lengths range from 500 words for Quick scans to 5,000 words or more for Exhaustive reports. The tool supports file uploads and lets users compare outputs across models. Live web research depends on whether the selected model supports web tooling; without it, a report relies on that model’s training data. Listed uses include market research, competitive analysis, due diligence, journalism, academic reviews, policy analysis, and meeting preparation. The free plan includes 250 starting credits, access to AI models using credits, web search and file analysis, and one custom agent. Plus is $16.67 a month when billed annually, or $20 a month with monthly billing. The maker advises checking sources and details before relying on high-stakes claims.
