Why we included this project

Open Deep Research is a self-hosted take on OpenAI's Deep Research, letting you run your own web-research agent instead of paying per query on a hosted service. It wires a reasoning model to Firecrawl's search and extraction tools, so the agent can gather live pages, read many sources, and hand back a synthesized report. That makes it a solid foundation for automating market scans, competitive analysis, due-diligence checks, or literature reviews. The project is a Next.js app built on the Vercel AI SDK, so swapping in Anthropic, Cohere, or another provider takes a few lines, and you can bolt on auth and Postgres storage before deploying it yourself. Since it's a reference implementation rather than a managed product, you decide the budget, timeout limits, and which model does the heavy reasoning.
