Matthew Stublefield, CEO of Fieldway, wanted to build a research agent that could do work he used to outsource to six-figure research firms. So, he wired Tavily into Claude Code via MCP. Matthew turned a 5-hour manual cycle into a 25-minute workflow. His agent pulls hundreds of cited, live sources, and verifies every citation before he sees it. On one project, a bank was losing customers and couldn't figure out why. Matthew fed the agent 40+ research docs, the bank’s 16,000-row CRM, sales collateral, and customer interviews. With grounded research from Tavily, he surfaced a whole class of competitor the bank had never tracked. It turned out to be the gap behind their churn. Work that would've taken 3–4 weeks in the past, only took 10 hours. "I'm now getting something better than what those six-figure firms produced, in anywhere between 25 minutes and 2 hours," says Matthew. See how he did it and what’s next in the full story →
