Drafting VC Memos in 90 Seconds with Agent API
inductionheads · x · 2026-07-17
This piece showcases the Perplexity Agent API in an investment research workflow. Combined with LangChain, it can generate a cited VC investment memo in about 90 seconds for roughly $0.40.
Workflow breakdown:
- Uses 4 LangGraph nodes to research financials, product, and market in parallel.
- A "tool-less" synthesizer then drafts the memo based solely on the research findings.
The emphasis isn't on the model itself, but rather on how an agent pipeline of "search + orchestration + synthesis" can drastically compress research time.
