✨ Overview

Together Open Deep Research is an agentic LLM workflow that delivers in-depth research on complex topics requiring multi-hop reasoning. It enhances traditional web search by producing comprehensive, well-cited content that mimics the human research process - planning, searching, evaluating information, and iterating until completion.

🎯 Features

• Comprehensive Research Reports - Generates long-form, well-cited content on complex topics
• Multi-Stage Process - Uses multiple self-reflection stages for quality information gathering
• Source Verification - Provides citations for all information sources
• Extensible Architecture - Designed with a flexible foundation for community extension

⚠️ Disclaimer

As an LLM-based system, this tool may occasionally:

• Generate hallucinations or fabricate information that appears plausible
• Contain biases present in its training data
• Misinterpret complex queries or provide incomplete analyses
• Present outdated information
