Deep research

A cited report, not a quick guess

Turn on research in the AI workspace composer and the answer becomes a report: it reads the web and your own projects, docs and files, shows you its progress, and cites what it used. Then you ask follow-ups in the same chat.

In the composer

Flip a switch, and the answer gets more thorough

Research is a toggle beside the text box. With it on, the AI may ask you a clarifying question or two before it starts, so it researches what you meant. You can watch its progress in the chat while it works, and the finished reply is a report with citation chips.

  • A research toggle in the composer, off by default
  • Clarifying questions first when the request is broad
  • Progress shown inline while it works
  • Follow-up questions in the same chat, with the report as context

Sources

The web, and the work you already have

A research report can draw on the web, your projects, your docs spaces and your files, so an answer about your own plans reads your own plans. Each claim carries a citation chip that points back to the source, so you can check it before you rely on it.

  • The web, plus your projects, docs spaces and files
  • Citation chips on the claims, with a source list
  • Your own work is read with your own access, nothing wider

Take it with you

Keep the report, and the files that go with it

Export a report to PDF or Word, or save it to Docs as a page your team can find. Ask in the same message for the files you want alongside it, such as a PDF summary and a spreadsheet of the sources, and you get up to five files under the reply.

  • Export to PDF or Word, or save to Docs
  • Ask for up to five files in one request
  • Files filed in Drive and revisable, like any AI-made file

AI Workspace

One chat, the right kind of answer

One chat that picks the right kind of answer for each message: a reply, a side-by-side model comparison, a multi-step pipeline, or an image. Attach documents and PDFs, dictate your prompt, and pin a model when you want one.

AI Files and Charts

Files, charts and many scripts

Ask for a PDF, a Word document or a spreadsheet and get the file, with charts inside it and in the chat. Totals from attached data are calculated exactly, and files come out in right-to-left and Asian scripts too.

AI Projects and Memory

Shared context and your own memory

Group chats into a project with its own instructions, knowledge files and memory, linked to your Docs and Tracker. Keep a private memory of what the AI should know about you, written by you.

Docs and Wiki

Spaces, pages, and search

Spaces, nested pages, rich blocks, templates, version history, granular sharing, and full-text search. The team's source of truth, living in the office rather than beside it.

FAQ

Questions about deep research

Something else on your mind? Write to hello@thehivez.com.

Does the normal chat search the web?

No. A normal chat, a comparison and Deskly answer from the model and from your workspace. Searching the web is part of deep research, which you switch on for a message, and AI employees can research the web when that is turned on for their template.

Can it read documents I cannot open?

No. Research reads your projects, docs spaces and files with your own access. If a space is closed to you, it is closed to the research too.

How do I know the report is right?

Each claim carries a citation chip pointing to the source it came from, and the report lists its sources, so you can open them and check. It is a draft to rely on after you have looked, not a replacement for judgement.

Why did it ask me a question first?

When a request is broad, research may ask you to narrow it before it starts, so you get a report on what you meant rather than on a guess. You can answer, or just ask again more specifically.

Can I turn a report into a document?

Yes. Export it to PDF or Word, or save it to Docs as a page. You can also ask for the files you want in the same request, up to five.

Who can use it?

People your admins give AI access to, in an organisation that has the AI module on. It uses the AI providers your organisation has connected.
