Portal Agent can do your research for you. Give it a topic and it searches the web, finds relevant images, creates cards for each result, and organizes everything on your canvas — all from a single prompt. The result is a fully built research board or moodboard ready for you to explore and refine, without leaving Portals.

​
How the research workflow works

When you send Portal Agent a research prompt, it uses its web search and image search tools to gather content, then uses its canvas manipulation tools to place that content as organized cards. Multi-step execution means the agent handles the entire workflow — searching, retrieving images, creating cards, and positioning them — in one go.
1

Open Portal Agent

In Brainstorming mode, open the Portal Agent panel. Make sure you are in a workspace with web search enabled. The agent works on the infinite canvas, so you can zoom and pan to see the full board it builds.
2

Type a research prompt

Describe the topic you want to research. Be specific about the format you want — for example, whether you want a moodboard with images, a structured research board with summaries, or a mind map. See the example prompts below for inspiration.
3

Watch the agent build your board

Portal Agent runs its web search and image search tools, retrieves results, and progressively builds the board on your canvas. Cards appear as the agent works through the results. You can watch it happen in real time without any manual input.
4

Edit and refine

Once the board is complete, you can move, resize, delete, or edit any card directly on the canvas. You can also follow up with another prompt — for example, asking the agent to add more images, cluster cards by theme, or expand on a specific subtopic.

​
Example prompts

Copy these prompts directly into Portal Agent to get started: 
Research the top UI design trends for 2025 and create a research board with key themes, examples, and images for each trend.

​
Moodboard creation

For image-focused research, phrase your prompt around visuals. Portal Agent’s image search tool finds and places images directly onto the canvas as cards. Prompts like “create a moodboard for…” or “find images of…” signal to the agent that it should prioritize image search results over text summaries.

Image-focused prompts

Ask for moodboards, visual inspiration, texture boards, or color palettes to get an image-heavy board.

Text-focused prompts

Ask for research boards, summaries, comparisons, or overviews to get cards with written content and citations.
Web search is subject to usage limits during the beta period. If you reach your limit, the agent will let you know and fall back to its existing knowledge for the remainder of the session.
