An open-source clone of OpenAI's Deep Research, built as a Next.js web application. It uses Firecrawl's search and extract APIs to gather large amounts of web data and feeds it to a reasoning LLM (via the Vercel AI SDK) to produce in-depth research reports.
Use cases
- run deep research on a topic using live web data
- self-host an open source alternative to OpenAI Deep Research
- build an AI agent that searches and extracts structured data from websites
- generate research reports from real-time web sources
- chat with an AI that reasons over scraped web content
- deploy a deep research clone to Vercel
When to choose
- you want a self-hostable, customizable Deep Research clone
- you want to swap LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter) via the AI SDK
- you already use Firecrawl for web scraping and search
- you want a ready-to-deploy Next.js chat UI with auth and history
When to avoid
- you need a fully free pipeline - Firecrawl and LLM APIs require paid API keys at scale
- you need a CLI or library rather than a full web application
- you need production-grade research quality matching OpenAI's fine-tuned o3 model
- you don't want to deploy on Vercel or manage Postgres/Blob storage
