Have been searching for a deep research tool that I can hook up to both my personal notes (in Obsidian) and the web and this looks like this has those capabilities. Now the only piece left is to figure out a way to export the deep research outputs back into my Obsidian somehow.

I’m curious how this compares to the open-source version made by HuggingFace [1]. As I can tell, the HF version uses reasoning LLMs to search/traverse and parse the web and gather results, then evaluates the results before eventually synthesizing a result.

This version appears to show off a vector store for documents generated from a web crawl (the writer is a vector-store-aaS company)

Sometimes I wanted to do a little coding to automate things with my personal productivity tool so i feel a programatic interface that open source implementation like this provides is very convenient

I actually tried using this and I came into some issues and I had to replace the openAI text embeddings with the MilvusEmbedding.

The QuickStart had a good response. [1] https://gist.github.com/zitterbewegung/086dd344d16d4fd4b8931...

I think the magic of Grok's implementation of this is that they already have most of the websites cached (guessing via their twitter crawler) so it all feels very snappy. Bing/Brave search don't seem to offer that in their search apis. Does such a thing exist as a service?

I’ve been wondering about this and searching for solutions too.

For now we’ve just managed to optimize how quickly we download pages, but haven’t found an API that actually caches them. Perhaps companies are concerned that they’ll be sued for it in the age of LLMs?

The Brave API provides ‘additional snippets’, meaning that you at least get multiple slices of the page, but it’s not quite a substitute.
