Deep Research
Self-hosted deep research tool that generates comprehensive research reports in about 2 minutes using configurable thinking and task LLM models. Combines multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Deepseek, Mistral, Ollama, etc.) with multiple search providers (Tavily, Searxng, Brave, Exa, Firecrawl). Includes MCP server support, knowledge graph generation, research history, and a multi-language web UI.
Best When
You want a self-hosted, privacy-focused deep research tool that works with your choice of LLM and search providers, accessible via web UI or MCP.
Avoid When
You need instant answers rather than comprehensive reports, or you don't want to manage API keys for LLM and search providers.
Use Cases
- • Automated research report generation on any topic
- • AI-assisted deep research via MCP integration
- • Building a local knowledge base from research outputs
- • Multi-provider LLM comparison for research quality
- • Self-hosted alternative to commercial deep research tools
Not For
- • Real-time or streaming research (reports take ~2 minutes)
- • Highly specialized academic research requiring domain-specific databases
- • Use without any LLM API key (requires at least one provider)
