Idea
A dual-agent AI platform that dynamically structures and synthesizes web-scale evidence into reliable research reports for analysts and researchers
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper presents WebWeaver, a dual-agent system that mimics human research by interleaving evidence acquisition with dynamic outline optimization. Unlike static pipelines and one-shot generation, it uses a memory bank and hierarchical retrieval to mitigate long-context failures and hallucinations, enabling more accurate and well-structured report generation.
Market Size (TAM)
$2–10B TAM for AI-powered research synthesis platforms; $1–2B SAM from academic institutions and enterprise research teams. Driven by growing demand for automated deep research and improved AI report reliability.

Research Paper Overview
WebWeaver: Structuring Web-Scale Evidence with Dynamic Outlines for Open-Ended Deep Research
Summary
This paper addresses open-ended deep research where AI synthesizes vast web information into reports. It introduces WebWeaver, a dual-agent framework with a planner that iteratively acquires evidence and optimizes outlines linked to a memory bank. The writer composes reports section by section using targeted evidence retrieval, reducing long-context issues. WebWeaver outperforms benchmarks like DeepResearch Bench, DeepConsult, and DeepResearchGym, showing that adaptive planning and focused synthesis improve report quality and reliability.
