Comprehensive AI-powered research synthesis

Deep Research Mode

Deep Research goes beyond simple search to provide comprehensive analysis and synthesis of a topic. It's like having a research assistant who reads hundreds of papers for you.

What is Deep Research?

Deep Research:

  1. Searches across multiple databases
  2. Reads and analyzes relevant papers
  3. Synthesizes findings into coherent themes
  4. Identifies gaps and controversies
  5. Generates a structured report

When to Use Deep Research

Ideal For:

  • Starting a new research project
  • Literature review sections
  • Understanding a new field
  • Identifying research gaps
  • Preparing grant applications

Not Ideal For:

  • Finding a specific paper
  • Quick fact-checking
  • Simple definitions
