Deep Research from the Web

The Deep Research feature in Blast Office allows you to conduct comprehensive web research on any topic. A central research agent coordinates specialized workers to gather, analyze, and synthesize information.

How It Works

When you initiate a deep research task:

1. Central Agent: A coordinating agent breaks your research question into sub-topics
2. Research Workers: Specialized workers search the web for information on each sub-topic
3. Synthesis: The central agent collects findings from all workers and synthesizes them into a coherent report
4. Citations: All sources are cited with links to the original material

Starting a Deep Research Task

1. Open a new Chat session
2. Describe your research topic in detail
3. The AI will recognize the research intent and activate the deep research agent

Deep Research from Local Files

Blast Office can conduct deep research across your local files — perfect for writing literature reviews, analyzing collections of documents, or synthesizing information from multiple sources.

1. Knowledge Base: Your local files are indexed in a Knowledge Base
2. Research Workers: Agents search across your indexed documents
3. Synthesis: Findings are compiled into a structured report with citations to specific documents

Setting Up

Before conducting local file research:
