Deep Research
Autonomous multi-step research that searches multiple sources, reads full content, synthesizes findings, and produces a structured report.
When to Use
- User wants a thorough understanding of a topic (medical condition, drug, treatment, technology)
- User asks for a literature review or evidence summary
- User wants competitive or landscape analysis
- User wants to investigate an open question with multiple angles
- User asks "what does the research say about X"
Research Strategy
Step 1: Query Decomposition
Break the research question into 3–5 sub-questions covering:
- Core definition / mechanism
- Current evidence / state of the art
- Debates, limitations, or contradictions
- Clinical / practical implications (if medical)
- Recent developments (last 1–2 years)
Step 2: Multi-Source Search
Run searches across complementary sources using the available search tools:
# Use multi-search-engine for broad web coverage
# Use pubmed-search for peer-reviewed medical literature
# Use agent-browser to read full-text articles and retrieve content blocked by snippets
Search order:
- PubMed (if medical/biomedical topic) — for peer-reviewed evidence
- Multi-search-engine (Bing, Google, DuckDuckGo) — for guidelines, reviews, news
- Wikipedia — for background and structured overviews
- agent-browser — for reading full articles, PDFs, clinical guidelines
Step 3: Source Evaluation
For each source note:
- Publication type (RCT, meta-analysis, guideline, review, news)
- Date (prefer sources within 5 years for medical topics)
- Authority (journal impact, organization credibility)
- Relevance to the specific sub-question
Step 4: Synthesis
Synthesize across sources into a coherent narrative. Do NOT just concatenate summaries — identify:
