How do AI agents help Legal & Compliance teams with Market Research?

A DeskFerry agent connects to the systems your Legal & Compliance stack already runs on, watches for Market Research triggers, and executes the next step automatically — drafting, routing, updating records, and following up without manual handoffs. AI gathers market data from hundreds of sources and synthesizes it into actionable reports. Teams typically see days → Hours from scoping to report once the agent is in production. Setup is no-code, the agent operates inside the rules you define for your Legal & Compliance team, and every decision is logged so leadership can review what was automated and what was escalated.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.
