Deep Research System

A Deep Research System is an automated system that is an AI-powered research system that can solve deep research tasks (through integrated research capabilities and multi-source information synthesis).

• AKA: Autonomous Research System, AI Research Assistant System, Deep Research Platform.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) orchestrate Research Workflow through workflow management components.
  • It can (typically) manage Research State through state tracking mechanisms.
  • It can (typically) process Natural Language Query through query understanding modules.
  • It can (typically) maintain Research Context through context management systems.
  • It can (typically) ensure Research Quality through verification components.
  • ...
  • It can (often) parallelize Research Subtasks through parallel execution engines.
  • It can (often) cache Research Results through result storage systems.
  • It can (often) monitor Research Progress through progress tracking modules.
  • It can (often) handle Research Errors through error recovery mechanisms.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Lightweight Deep Research System to being an Enterprise Deep Research System, depending on its system complexity.
  • It can range from being a Cloud-Based Deep Research System to being an On-Premise Deep Research System, depending on its deployment architecture.
  • It can range from being a General-Purpose Deep Research System to being a Domain-Specific Deep Research System, depending on its specialization level.
  • ...
  • It can utilize LLM Core for reasoning capability.
  • It can integrate Search Module for information retrieval.
  • It can employ Data Processing Pipeline for content transformation.
  • It can implement User Interface for interaction support.
  • It can maintain Audit Trail for research transparency.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Production Deep Research Systems, such as:
    • OpenAI o3 Deep Research System for complex research analysis.
    • ChatGPT Deep Research Mode System for interactive research sessions.
    • Claude Deep Research System for extended thinking tasks.
  • Enterprise Deep Research Systems, such as:
    • Corporate Intelligence Deep Research System for business research tasks.
    • Academic Deep Research System for scholarly investigations.
    • Government Deep Research System for policy research tasks.
  • Specialized Deep Research Systems, such as:
    • Medical Deep Research System for clinical research tasks.
    • Financial Deep Research System for market analysis tasks.
    • Legal Deep Research System for case law research.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Basic Search System, which lacks multi-step reasoning.
  • Static Database System, which lacks dynamic information gathering.
  • Simple Q&A System, which lacks research depth capability.
