Open deep research - AI-powered autonomous research workflow

Open Deep Research - AI-Powered Autonomous Research Workflow Description This workflow automates deep research by leveraging AI-driven search queries, web scraping, content analysis, and structured reporting. It enables autonomous research with iterative refinement, allowing users to collect, analyze, and summarize high-quality information efficiently. How it works 1. 🔹 User Input - The user submits a research topic via a chat message. 2. 🧠 AI Query Generation - A Basic LLM generates up to four refined search queries to retrieve relevant information. 3. 🔎 SERPAPI Google Search - The workflow loops through each generated query and retrieves top search results using the SerpAPI API. 4. 📄 Jina AI Web Scraping - Extracts and summarizes webpage content from the URLs obtained via SerpAPI. 5. 📊 AI-Powered Content Evaluation - An AI Agent evaluates the relevance and credibility of the extracted content. 6. 🔁 Iterative Search Refinement - If the AI finds insufficient or low-quality information, it generates new search queries to improve results. 7. 📜 Final Report Generation - The AI compiles a structured markdown report, including sources with citations.
