An open-source TypeScript framework for building autonomous web research agents, layered from a Next.js chat template down to an agent core orchestrator built on LangChain's Deep Agents. It combines Firecrawl's web search, scrape, and interact tools with LLMs in a plan-act-observe loop, supporting skills, subagents, and structured output.

Use cases

  • build an autonomous agent that researches the web and returns structured data
  • scrape websites and extract llm-ready markdown or json for my app
  • create a chat agent with streaming responses and subagents
  • add web search and scraping tools to my vercel ai sdk app
  • run deep research on a topic and get a structured report
  • scaffold an express api server that powers a web research agent

When to choose

  • you want a ready-made, layered foundation for web research agents in TypeScript
  • you already use or like the Firecrawl API for scraping and search
  • you need skills, subagents, and structured output out of the box
  • you want to fork and customize an agent harness built on LangChain Deep Agents

When to avoid

  • you need a language other than TypeScript/JavaScript for the agent layer
  • you want a fully self-contained agent with no dependency on the Firecrawl API or its pricing tiers
  • you only need simple one-off scraping without agentic orchestration
  • you need a mature, long-proven framework - this project is young and fast-moving
