Background Pattern

Deep Agents handle complex workflows end-to-end—planning, executing, checking, and improving.

They’re designed for multi-step work with
tools, memory, and built-in verification.

Why Deep Agents

From Assistant to Analyst

Deep Agents don’t just respond—they research, cross-check, and produce structured outputs.

Better than “just a better model”

You don’t need to wait for the perfect model. Deep Agents help standard LLMs solve harder problems using scaffolding, tools, and checks.

Cost per outcome improves

They may use more compute per task, but reduce human review loops and rework—so total cost per outcome drops.

Modular and easier to debug

Work is split into specialist sub-agents, so you can improve one part (e.g., citations or formatting) without rewriting the whole system.

How we build your first AI co-worker?

Planning loops, not one-shot prompts

Deep Agents break a goal into steps, execute them, check results, and refine. This enables non-linear work that mirrors how teams operate.

Tool orchestration and a workspace

Deep Agents use your tools and systems safely—databases, CRMs, ticketing, internal docs—and maintain a workspace (files, notes, intermediate outputs) while working.

Verification built into the workflow

Deep Agents include checks like fact validation, source grounding, policy rules, and QA scorecards so results are reliable before they reach a human.

Where Deep Agents fit best

YAY!

Research + reporting with citations, summaries, and structured outputs

Cross-system workflows (docs + CRM + tickets + dashboards)

Compliance-heavy processes needing traceability and approvals

High-volume operations where consistency matters across teams

NAY!

Simple FAQ chatbots

Low-stakes, one-shot replies

Tasks without clear success criteria

High-risk compliance work
