GPT Researcher

What it does

GPT Researcher connects LLMs to the web to perform autonomous deep research. Unlike standard search tools that return raw snippets, it explores numerous sources to find trusted, up-to-date information, optimizing context usage and improving reasoning for complex queries.

Tools

• deep_research: Performs comprehensive web research on a topic to find the most reliable information.
• quick_search: Fast web search optimized for speed, returning snippets via retrievers like Tavily, Bing, or Google.
• write_report: Generates a structured research report based on the gathered results.
• get_research_sources: Retrieves the list of sources used during the research process.
• get_research_context: Fetches the full context of the research session.
