SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deep-research helps you produce thorough, trustworthy research by collecting information from multiple sources and synthesizing it into a cited report, so you do not have to manually search, verify, and reconcile conflicting claims.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-source web research: Runs searches across the web via firecrawl and/or exa to gather breadth.
  • Source-grounded synthesis: Deep-reads selected URLs and writes an organized report with inline citations.
  • Actionable deliverables: Produces an executive summary and key takeaways (and optionally a full saved report for long outputs).
  • Use cases: Competitive analysis, technology evaluation, market/diligence style questions, and any request that needs evidence and attribution.

Quick Start

Ask your AI to produce a deep, multi-source research report on "the current state of nuclear fusion energy with citations and a methodology section."

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a cited research report from multiple web sources?

Generate a cited research report by searching and scraping multiple web sources, deep-reading key URLs, and synthesizing findings into an evidence-backed document with inline citations. This approach ensures cross-referenced, trustworthy coverage for any topic.

Can I use firecrawl and exa MCP tools for competitive analysis?

Yes, you can use firecrawl MCP tools and exa MCP tools for competitive analysis. The skill runs searches across these tools to gather broad web data, then synthesizes findings into an organized report with inline citations.

What's the best way to ensure evidence synthesis and citation coverage in market analysis?

The best way to ensure evidence synthesis and citation coverage in market analysis is using a multi-source research approach that deep-reads selected URLs, cross-references claims, acknowledges gaps, and enforces citation coverage throughout the final document.

Do I need MCP tools to perform deep research and web scraping?

Yes, you need support for firecrawl MCP tools and exa MCP tools to perform deep research. These dependencies enable the web searching and scraping capabilities required to gather sources and synthesize cited reports.

What limitations exist when generating due diligence reports with multi-source web research?

Limitations include reliance on web source availability and the need for MCP tool support. The process acknowledges information gaps and enforces citation coverage, but cannot verify claims beyond scraped web content or access paywalled data.

How does web scraping synthesis handle conflicting claims during technology evaluation?

Web scraping synthesis handles conflicting claims during technology evaluation by cross-referencing multiple sources, deep-reading key URLs, and acknowledging gaps. It reconciles information into an organized report with inline citations and methodology.
