Deep research

~3000 credits / report (up to 10000)

Runs autonomous multi-step research to produce a detailed, citation-rich report on a topic, suitable for a market landscape, competitive analysis, literature synthesis, or any question requiring comprehensive coverage. The skill runs many searches, synthesizes the findings, and returns a structured multi-section report. Slower and more expensive than a quick or standard answer.

Use when

You want a report, deep dive, market landscape, or a synthesis of the literature on a topic.

Not for

A quick fact or a single comparison, which a quick or standard answer handles far more cheaply.

Cost

~3000 credits / report (up to 10000)

A focused report at moderate depth is the usual case; an exhaustive report runs many more searches and costs more.

Estimated; the actual charge depends on your input and is shown in the response.
