Setup
No setup required. Deep Research is automatically available to every agent.
Capabilities
- Comprehensive topic investigation — Autonomously explores a topic across multiple sources, gathering and synthesizing information into a detailed report.
- Source-backed findings — Returns structured Markdown reports with cited sources so your agents can verify and reference the underlying material.
- Asynchronous research — Handles complex, time-intensive research in the background (up to 55 minutes for complex topics) while your agent continues other work.
- Workspace output — Saves research results as Markdown files in
/workspace/deep_research/, making them available for downstream processing and reference.
Key Benefits
- Depth over speed — Goes beyond quick lookups to deliver well-rounded, multi-angle analysis on complex subjects.
- Hands-off research — Your agent provides the topic and instructions, then Deep Research runs autonomously and returns when finished.
- Decision-quality output — Produces thorough background material that supports informed decision-making and detailed reporting.
- Structured and reusable — Results are saved as Markdown files, ready for your agent to process, summarize, or include in deliverables.
