Deep Research
Multi-step research automation with gap analysis, iterative refinement, and professional PDF reports. Like having a research analyst on demand.
What is Deep Research?
Deep Research is DruidX's automated research workflow that conducts comprehensive multi-step research. It breaks complex queries into sub-questions, searches the web using Tavily API, performs gap analysis to identify missing information, conducts additional research iterations as needed, and synthesizes findings into a professional PDF report with full citations. Unlike simple web search, Deep Research plans, evaluates, iterates, and delivers analyst-quality reports—ideal for competitive analysis, market research, and due diligence.
How Deep Research Works
A systematic approach to comprehensive research, from question to report.
Planning
AI analyzes your query and breaks it into 3-7 specific research questions that cover all aspects of the topic.
Human Approval
You review and approve the research plan before execution. Modify questions or approve to proceed.
Research
Agents search the web using Tavily API, scrape relevant pages with Firecrawl, and gather information from multiple sources.
Gap Analysis
AI evaluates the findings. If confidence is low, it generates follow-up questions and conducts additional research iterations.
Synthesis
All findings are synthesized into a comprehensive report with citations, key insights, and actionable recommendations.
PDF Report
A professional PDF report is generated automatically, ready to share with stakeholders.
Popular Use Cases
How teams use Deep Research to gather intelligence and make decisions.
Competitive Analysis
Research competitor products, pricing, features, and market positioning. Get a comprehensive report comparing your offering.
Example: "Analyze the top 5 CRM platforms and compare their AI features"
Market Research
Understand market trends, size, growth projections, and key players. Identify opportunities and threats.
Example: "Research the enterprise AI platform market size and growth trends for 2025"
Technology Evaluation
Compare technologies, frameworks, or tools. Get detailed analysis of pros, cons, and use cases.
Example: "Compare LangChain vs LlamaIndex for building RAG applications"
Due Diligence
Research companies, investors, or potential partners. Gather public information from multiple sources.
Example: "Research Acme Corp's funding history, key executives, and recent news"

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Deep Research
Deep Research is DruidX's multi-step research automation feature. It breaks complex research queries into sub-questions, searches the web systematically, evaluates findings for gaps, conducts follow-up research if needed, and synthesizes everything into a comprehensive report with citations.
Regular web search returns a list of links. Deep Research conducts actual research: it plans the research strategy, searches multiple sources for each sub-question, evaluates the quality of findings, iterates if information is incomplete, and synthesizes everything into an organized report. It's like having a research analyst working for you.
Yes. After the AI generates the research plan, you'll see an approval step where you can review the proposed questions. You can approve as-is, modify questions, add new ones, or remove irrelevant ones before the research begins.
By default, Deep Research performs up to 3 iterations. After each iteration, it conducts gap analysis to determine if the research is complete. If confidence is high enough, it moves to synthesis. You can configure the maximum iterations in settings.
Deep Research uses Tavily API for web search and Firecrawl for page scraping. It searches across the entire web, prioritizing authoritative sources. It can also combine web research with your uploaded documents for comprehensive analysis.
Depending on complexity, Deep Research typically takes 2-10 minutes. You'll see real-time progress as it moves through each phase—planning, approval, research iterations, gap analysis, and synthesis. The PDF report is generated at the end.
Yes. Deep Research can combine web sources with your uploaded knowledge base. For example, you could research competitors and compare findings against your internal product documentation.
Deep Research includes citations for every claim, so you can verify accuracy. The gap analysis phase helps ensure comprehensive coverage. However, like any AI system, you should review the output, especially for critical decisions.
Yes. Every Deep Research task generates a downloadable PDF report. You can also copy the markdown content, share via link, or export to your preferred format.
Deep Research is available on Scale and Enterprise plans. Each research task consumes credits based on the number of web searches and AI model usage. You can track usage in your dashboard.
