01

The problem

Fundamental research is an ongoing process: interests, prior questions, and relevant sources evolve over time. Te Vārta is being designed to preserve that context rather than treating every question as a fresh start.

02

Design direction

Exploring user-specific knowledge graphs, memory, financial information retrieval, and source provenance. The aim is to make research more personalized and contextual over time.

03

Technical exploration

Retrieval-augmented generation, information retrieval, and agent-driven workflows are areas under exploration. Personalized research briefs and contextual summaries are proposed product directions, not claims of live functionality.

04

Current progress

The project is in development. Work is focused on designing the research assistant and investigating how context, memory, and attributable information could fit together.

05

Limitations & next questions

Reliable financial retrieval, source freshness, conflicting evidence, and control over personal research memory remain design questions. The assistant is a research concept and does not establish investment performance.
