Luminix is an AI-powered deep research tool for analyzing companies, industries and big ideas. It is aimed at people who have a hard question, such as whether to enter a market, how a competitor is positioned or whether to build or buy a solution, and want a structured, cited answer instead of a pile of search results.
The product was built by founder Jon Sinclair, who says he created it first for himself because AI models on their own seemed to do only half the work. His view is that the back-and-forth of follow-up questions is where understanding happens, so Luminix is designed around continuing the conversation after the first report.
The company also describes its approach as analysis, not advice. Reports present what the research found, the counterpoints and where sources diverge, and they do not tell the reader what to decide.
You start by describing your question in plain language, with optional context and documents. Luminix breaks it into targeted research threads covering market and competitive angles, technical and practical considerations, and edge cases. You can review, edit, add or remove threads before anything runs.
Each thread is then given to a dedicated AI agent. The agents search the web, read sources, extract data and write reports with citations, all in parallel. The site says a full run takes 15-30 minutes. The source pages differ on thread counts: the homepage and pricing page describe up to six threads in deep mode, while the how-it-works and about pages describe eight.
The thread reports feed a synthesis layer that connects findings, identifies patterns and lays out tradeoffs. Luminix says it uses Gemini for quick early results, Grok for the deep research agents and Claude Opus for the final long-form report.
The central feature is editable question decomposition: the research plan is visible and adjustable before the agents start. Parallel agents then produce individual reports, and one research path acts as a cynic or challenger to surface counterpoints. Every claim is meant to trace back to a source.
After synthesis, users can ask follow-up questions that build on the existing research, with context carried forward. Documents can be uploaded to add internal context, and the synthesis phase supports custom prompts and extended thinking for complex analysis.
For workflow, Luminix saves projects and history, stores research artifacts, and exports reports as PDF or Markdown. On security, the company says paid data is encrypted at rest with AES-256, is never used to train AI models, and is isolated between users.
Luminix is an AI deep research tool for analyzing companies, industries and big ideas. It splits a question into research threads, runs AI agents in parallel with citations, and synthesizes the results into one report. Users can then ask follow-up questions.
The first fast research report is free and needs no credit card. A deep research report costs $5, and credits are valid for 12 months. You can buy another deep report whenever you need one.
Yes. The Free Starter option includes one fast research report with 3 research threads, grounded web research with citations and AI synthesis, ready in about 3 minutes. Deep reports are the paid tier.
The site says research and synthesis take 15-30 minutes for a full report. A fast report is ready in about 3 minutes. The company says most people spend another 10-15 minutes reviewing and asking follow-up questions.
The homepage says Luminix orchestrates Gemini for quick initial research, Grok for the deep research agents and Claude Opus for final synthesis. The company says these selections are updated as frontier models change.
Yes. You can upload files to add internal context to the synthesis. The site says your documents inform the analysis but are not stored beyond your project.
The site says paid user data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and that research data is never used to train AI models. It also says it keeps data isolated between users and processes payments through Paddle.
No. The company says Luminix is a research tool, is not a registered investment advisor and makes no buy, sell or hold recommendations. Reports present analysis and frame both sides, and the decision stays with the user.
