Introducing TedrosAI: An AI Agent That Researches the Web For You
Web research is broken. Whether you're doing market research, competitive analysis, or due diligence, the process looks the same: open dozens of tabs, click through search results, manually copy data into a document, and hope you didn't miss anything important. It's tedious, error-prone, and scales terribly.
We built TedrosAI to fix this. Our AI research agent takes your question, crawls the live web through residential proxy infrastructure, gathers data from dozens of relevant sources, and synthesizes everything into a comprehensive, sourced report. What takes a human researcher hours or days takes our agent minutes.
The Problem We're Solving
Every day, thousands of professionals — analysts, founders, investors, marketers — spend hours doing manual web research. They're searching Google, clicking through results, reading pages, extracting relevant data, and compiling it into something useful. The process hasn't fundamentally changed in 20 years.
Meanwhile, the information landscape has exploded. Data is scattered across company websites, news outlets, social media, government databases, forums, review sites, and industry publications. No single search engine surfaces everything you need, and much of the most valuable content is geo-restricted or hidden behind anti-bot protections.
Existing "AI search" tools help, but they have a fundamental limitation: they query cached search indexes, not the live web. They can't access pages that block bots. They can't see content from specific geographic regions. They can't go deep on a topic by following links and gathering data across dozens of sources.
Why Residential Proxies Matter
Most AI tools that claim to "search the web" are actually just querying cached search indexes. They don't access live websites. And when they try, they get blocked — because websites detect and reject datacenter IPs and bot traffic.
TedrosAI routes requests through residential proxy networks — real IP addresses from real devices in 195+ countries. To any website, our agent looks like a normal person browsing from home. This means we can access the same content a human researcher would see, from any geographic location, without being blocked by anti-bot systems.
This isn't a nice-to-have — it's the core infrastructure that makes reliable AI web research possible. Without residential proxies, any web research agent is limited to whatever content doesn't actively block it, which increasingly means very little of the useful web.
How It Works
You submit a research query — anything from "What are the top competitors in the European EV charging market?" to "Find all job postings from Company X in the last 30 days" to "What are customers saying about Product Y on forums and review sites?"
Our agent then executes a multi-step research process:
- Query planning: The agent breaks your question into sub-queries and identifies the most relevant source types (news, company sites, forums, databases, etc.)
- Web crawling: Requests are routed through residential proxies to access live content from relevant websites across multiple geographies
- Data extraction: Raw page content is parsed and structured — pulling out relevant facts, figures, quotes, and data points
- Synthesis: An LLM analyzes all gathered data and produces a clear, structured report with findings, analysis, and source citations
The result is a comprehensive research report that would have taken a human analyst hours to produce — delivered in minutes, with every claim linked back to its source.
Who This Is For
TedrosAI is built for anyone who needs to gather and synthesize information from the web at scale:
- Startup founders researching markets, competitors, and potential customers
- Investors doing due diligence on companies, founders, and market opportunities
- Marketing teams monitoring competitors, tracking industry trends, and researching content topics
- Sales teams researching prospects and building account intelligence
- Analysts compiling market reports, tracking regulatory changes, and monitoring industry developments
What's Next
We're currently in early access, onboarding teams that need automated web research at scale. Our API is live, the dashboard is functional, and we're iterating fast based on early user feedback.
If you're spending hours on manual research that could be automated — or if you've tried other AI research tools and hit the wall of blocked requests and stale data — we'd love to hear from you.
