Open-source deep research for coding agents. An alternative to OpenAI and Perplexity Deep Research — 40 channels including Chinese sources.
Docs • Install • Channels • 中文
You ask your AI to research something. It answers from training data cutoff —
- "Show me this week's LLM papers on arxiv" → can't, no academic database access
- "What are people saying about this product on Reddit" → shallow, only surface-level web results
- "Find similar open-source projects on GitHub" → weak, general search misses most repos
- "Summarize the Twitter discussion on this topic" → blocked, no public API
- "Compare opinions on Hacker News vs Chinese tech forums" → two platforms, manual aggregation
AutoSearch fixes this in one line.
