GPT Researcher

What it does

GPT Researcher is an autonomous agent designed for comprehensive deep research. It solves the problem of LLM hallucinations and token limits by utilizing a planner-execution architecture that scrapes multiple web sources and local documents to produce unbiased, factual reports exceeding 2,000 words.

Tools

• Research Planner: Generates a set of targeted research questions to ensure objective coverage.
• Crawler Agent: Gathers raw information from the web and local files for each generated question.
• Report Publisher: Aggregates and summarizes findings into a structured report with citations.
• Deep Research: A recursive exploration workflow that dives into subtopics for extreme depth.
