Deep Research from the Web

January 6, 2025   Advanced   research   web   AI

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

For example:

“Conduct a deep research report on the current state of quantum computing, including recent breakthroughs, major companies involved, and practical applications expected in the next 5 years”

Understanding the Output

The research report typically includes:

  • Executive summary: A brief overview of key findings
  • Detailed sections: In-depth analysis of each sub-topic
  • Citations: Numbered references with links to source material
  • Conclusion: Summary of findings and implications

Tips for Better Results

  • Be specific about what you want to learn
  • Mention any particular angles or perspectives you’re interested in
  • Specify the desired depth and format of the report
  • The more context you provide, the more targeted the research will be
