A TypeScript agent that iteratively searches the web, reads webpages, and reasons with an LLM (Gemini, OpenAI, or local) until it finds a concise answer or exceeds its token budget. It powers Jina AI's hosted DeepSearch UI and API and is intended for quick, factual answers rather than long-form reports.

Use cases

• build a deep search agent that keeps searching until it finds the answer
• self-host an alternative to OpenAI/Perplexity deep research
• get concise cited answers to complex queries via iterative web search
• integrate deep search into an app via a chat-completions-style API
• learn how DeepSearch/DeepResearch agents are implemented
• add a research agent to my browser search engines

When to choose

• you need quick, concise, well-sourced answers rather than long AI-generated reports
• you want a small, hackable TypeScript codebase to study or extend agentic search loops
• you want to self-host or run locally with Gemini, OpenAI, or a local LLM

When to avoid

• you need long-form multi-section research reports like OpenAI/Gemini Deep Research
• you want a polished production product without touching code - the hosted Jina API may fit better
• you need a Python-based agent stack
