Create your first research table

Follow these four steps to go from a blank workspace to a fully populated, cited data table.

Step 1: Create a new table

When you first open Blazar, you’ll see an empty workspace. Click Create new table or use the keyboard shortcut:
  • Mac: Cmd + ;
  • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + ;

Step 2: Name your table

After creating a table, you’ll see an editable title field at the top. Click it and type a descriptive name for your research — for example, “AI SaaS Companies in Europe.” Press Enter to confirm the name and move to the query input.

Step 3: Enter your query

In the input field, describe what you want to research in plain language. Be specific about the entities you want, any constraints, and the data points you need extracted. Example query:
Find 10 companies in AI SaaS based in Europe.

For each company, extract:
- Website
- Headquarters location
- Key products or services
- Founded year
- Employee count
- Contact email
- LinkedIn company page
Press Cmd + Enter (Mac) or Ctrl + Enter (Windows/Linux) to submit your query. Blazar will interpret it, research the web, and populate your table with structured results.
The more specific your query, the better your results. See Writing effective queries for tips and templates.

Step 4: Review your results

Once Blazar finishes researching, your table appears with:
  • Rows for each entity found (e.g., individual companies)
  • Columns for each field you requested (e.g., website, headquarters, employee count)
  • Citations linked to every cell — click any cell to see its sources
