Webhound builds long-running AI research agents that scale quality with time and budget. Our agents can create either structured datasets or fully cited research reports.
This is the 2nd launch from Webhound. View more
Webhound Reports
Launched this week
Webhound Reports is an AI research agent where quality scales with the budget you give it. Simply describe what you need, set a budget, and Webhound keeps researching until the budget runs out — more budget means more sources, more depth, more coverage. Every fact is cited and verifiable. We ranked number one on DeepResearch Bench. Try it free with five dollars in credits.

Hey Product Hunt, Moe here.
Talking to users, we kept hearing the same thing: they cared more about quality and control than speed and cost. They wanted research that got better the more time and budget they gave it.
So that's what we built. Long-running research agents that scale quality with the resources you give them. Set a one dollar budget, get a concise report. Set fifteen, get a comprehensive report with hundreds of verified sources.
We ran this new deep research architecture on DeepResearch Bench and it ranked number one.
The architecture is a planner-executor-verifier loop. Planner creates research tasks, executors search and extract with citations, verifier checks the work before moving on. It keeps cycling until your budget runs out.
Reports is for generating comprehensive research documents — competitive analysis, system design research, market deep dives.
Would love to hear what you'd use it for.
@mfkhalil congrats on the launch! You're mostly focused on academia or also business research works well?
Webhound
@mfkhalil @austin_heaton Thanks! Our goal at the moment is just to build the best long-running deep research possible. We have found that there are people both in academia and in business/industry who find it useful.
Finally, an agent that doesnt rush. Quality over speed is exactly whats missing in AI research right now. Congrats on the launch, Moe! Can we set a specific tone of voice for the final report, or is it always strictly formal?
Webhound
@kostfast While there are some "hardcoded" style guidelines to help readability (using headings, avoiding walls of text), the tone/style is largely dependent on what you ask for in your prompt. This will happen both explicitly and implicitly. For example, if you ask for a "system design doc with enough technical details to implement", the style will be that of a system design doc, although you are not explicitly saying what that is. You can also explicitly ask for a certain tone, i.e. "a lit review on ___ in a casual register written for a mass market audience".
@theo_schmidt Got it, so it’s all about the prompting. That flexibility is great because sometimes you need a report for a tech lead, and sometimes for a client who hates jargon. Thanks for the clarification!
Awesome result on the DeepResearch Bench, congrats! Would you consider adding an option for BYOK (bring-your-own-key)?
Webhound
@wilco_kruijer1 Thanks! BYOK may be something we add in the future. Inference is being billed at cost, so it wouldn't change the price.
Got burned by research agents that cite stuff but the quote doesn't match the claim. If Webhound Reports surfaces the supporting snippet in the verifier step, the budget knob becomes a real quality control.
