About

deep-research runs multi-source research with triangulation and fact-checking for topics needing three or more sources. Splits topics into search angles, uses site-targeted queries, extracts metadata from targeted scrapes, cross-references claims, assigns confidence levels, and outputs subtopic-structured citations.

  • Three to five search angles per topic.
  • Targeted extraction with source metadata.
  • Cross-source fact-checking and confidence ratings.
  • Subtopic output with inline citations.

Deep Research

Search Strategy

  • Break the topic into 3-5 distinct angles
  • 2-3 queries per angle using different terminology
  • Use site: operator for targeted searches (e.g. site:arxiv.org, site:github.com)
  • Include official, comparison, and review-oriented queries
  • Aim for 5-10 unique, high-quality sources

Extraction

  • Scrape each source with a targeted query parameter -- don't dump full pages into context
  • Extract: key claims, data points, dates, attributed quotes
  • Record author, publication, date, and URL for every source

Fact-Checking

  • Cross-reference claims across 2+ sources
  • Flag single-source claims explicitly
  • Assign confidence: high (3+ sources agree), medium (2), low (1 or conflicting)
  • Include contrarian viewpoints -- don't confirmation-bias the results

Output

  • Structure by subtopic, not by source
  • Inline citations for every claim
  • Call formatOutput with the structured data
