The 28k-star deep-research pioneer: it searches, reads and writes a cited report autonomously. Pre-wired to AllRouter — just ask.

Why use this one

This is an autonomous research agent, not a chatbot. It decomposes your question, runs many searches, reads the pages and produces a report with references — the kind of task that shows the real gap between models.

How to use it

  1. Give it a research question, not a keyword — "How did stablecoin regulation change in the EU in 2026?"
  2. It plans sub-questions, searches, reads sources and writes a cited report — this takes a few minutes
  3. Check the citations; the value is in the sources, not just the prose

What it costs

Free anonymous quota to try it. Register (free) for about 15× more. Or paste your own AllRouter key for unlimited use — it stays in your browser and is never sent to our server. Every run shows its exact cost, down to $0.0001.

Questions

Why is it slower than a chat app?

Because it is actually doing work: planning, searching, fetching and reading many pages before writing. A full report is minutes, not seconds.

Which model should I use?

This is the task where model choice matters most. In our own benchmark runs, some models failed the research task outright while doing fine on chat. The per-project scorecard on our site shows the measured results.

Does it use a lot of quota?

Yes — more than chat, because it reads many pages. Start with one report to see the cost, which is displayed per run.
