Deep Research lets your Agent perform thorough, multi-step research combining web search and your Knowledge Base. Instead of a single search, the Agent plans a research strategy, runs multiple searches, synthesizes findings, and delivers a comprehensive analysis with citations.

How to use it

1

Ask a research question

Type your research question. Deep Research works best with open-ended, complex questions that benefit from multiple angles — competitive analysis, market research, technical comparisons, or policy reviews.
2

Answer clarifying questions

The Agent may ask follow-up questions to refine the scope and direction of the research. Answer these to help it focus on what matters most.

3

Review the analysis

The Agent delivers a comprehensive report with its findings, analysis steps, and citations to the sources it used — both web results and Knowledge Base documents.

​
Cost

Deep Research uses approximately 500–1,300 credits per run, depending on the complexity of the question and how many searches are needed. This is significantly more than a standard chat message because the Agent performs multiple searches and analysis steps.
Monitor your credit usage in Settings. Consider using Deep Research for high-value research tasks where thoroughness matters more than speed.
