Deep research

Deep research by a council of AI models

Some questions deserve more than a quick answer. Several models research in parallel — searching, reading and reasoning on their own — and Digby writes one sourced report.

The end of a Digby answer: a list of cited sources, the “How Digby answered” panel and the “Dig deeper” button
Every answer lists its sources. “Dig deeper” starts an independent check or a full research pass.

01

How it works

  1. 01

    Plan

    Digby plans the research and briefs a council of independent models.

  2. 02

    Search

    each model searches the live web, reads sources and builds its own findings.

  3. 03

    Compare

    the council compares notes; disagreements are surfaced, not hidden.

  4. 04

    Report

    one report, with the sources it relied on.

02

Why a council beats one model

A single model researching alone tends to stop at the first plausible answer. Independent researchers searching separately find different sources, and when they disagree that disagreement is useful information — it tells you where the evidence is thin.

Digby’s report keeps the sources it relied on, so you can open them and check the claims that matter to you.

03

Dig deeper, any time

Ask for research directly, or tap “Dig deeper” under any answer: first an independent check, then a full research pass. Results arrive as a new message — close the tab and come back.

05

Good research questions

  1. 01

    Be specific

    “heat-pump rebates for a detached home in Ontario, 2026” beats “heat pumps”.

  2. 02

    Say what the report is for

    a decision, a briefing, a comparison.

  3. 03

    Name the sources you trust

    government sites, standards bodies, peer-reviewed work.

  4. 04

    Ask for the disagreements

    where the evidence is mixed is often the most useful part.
