Generate a Research Report While You Sleep
You need a competitive analysis by tomorrow morning. Normally that means hours of tab-hopping, note-taking, and formatting. What if you could delegate the entire thing to an AI agent that works while you sleep?
Spawn a background research task
“Computer, research the top five project management tools, compare their pricing and features, and save a report on my Desktop.”
The moment you say this, Vox spawns a background agent via its task engine. You can close your laptop, go to dinner, and come back to a finished report.
How background agents work
Vox's task engine is built on BullMQ and runs in two phases:
- Planning phase — The agent breaks your request into steps, identifies which tools it needs, and creates an execution plan
- Execution phase — It works through each step, using web search, page fetching, file creation, and other tools as needed
Agents maintain a journal with checkpoints. If something goes wrong, they can roll back to the last good state and try a different approach — automatically.

How's that research task going?
I've completed research on 4 of 5 tools. Currently fetching ClickUp's enterprise pricing. Estimated completion: 8 minutes.
Use search_tasks or get_task to check on any running or completed background task. Vox tracks status, progress, and output for every agent.
The finished product
When the agent completes, you get a full research report — not bullet points or raw data, but a structured document comparing pricing tiers, feature matrices, pros and cons, and a recommendation based on the criteria you specified.
“Computer, take that research report and turn it into a presentation for the team.”
Chain the output into document generation. The report becomes a slide deck in seconds.
Agents learn from past tasks
Vox's background agents store trigger-solution patterns from completed tasks. The next time you ask for a similar report, the agent already knows which sources were most useful, which format you preferred, and which comparison criteria matter to you.
