# Deep Research

> Multi-agent deep dives across hundreds of sources — available on Pro and above

Deep Research is Atlas's long-form research mode. Instead of a single agent answering in seconds, Deep Research dispatches **multiple specialized agents** that read across hundreds of domains in parallel — UN records, government archives, academic papers, think-tank reports, news wires, and more — then synthesize everything into a single structured brief with full citations.

A Deep Research query can take anywhere from **5 to 15 minutes** to complete. The output is work that would otherwise take hours of manual research — country dossiers, conflict analyses, policy comparisons, multi-country position summaries, historical deep-dives.

## When to use Deep Research

Reach for Deep Research when:

* You need a **comprehensive briefing** rather than a quick answer
* The topic spans **multiple actors, timelines, or dimensions**
* You want **exhaustive citations** from across the open web, not just a handful
* The query would take you **hours of manual research** if done by hand

Skip Deep Research (use standard Atlas) for quick lookups, follow-ups inside an existing thread, or anything that can be answered in under 30 seconds of reading.

## How it works

1. You submit a Deep Research query from the Atlas search bar (toggle **Deep Research** mode).
2. Atlas plans the research — breaking your query into sub-questions and domains to cover.
3. Multiple agents run in parallel, each exploring one branch of the research tree.
4. Results are synthesized, cross-checked, and assembled into a structured brief.
5. You receive the full report with a table of contents, sections, charts where relevant, and complete source citations.

You can leave the tab — Atlas will notify you when the report is ready, and the final brief is saved to your thread history.

## What you get

* **Executive summary** — the headline findings in 3–5 bullets
* **Structured sections** — organized by actor, timeline, or dimension
* **Evidence blocks** — direct quotes and data from sources, with citations
* **Source appendix** — every URL consulted, grouped by type
* **Exportable** — download as Markdown or PDF
