@agents-store/deep-research

Multi-service deep internet research plugin for OpenClaw. Every search queries Exa.ai, Firecrawl, and Perplexity in parallel for maximum coverage.

Features

• 8 specialized search tools — from quick search to 100+ source summaries
• All 3 services in every query — results are deduplicated and ranked
• Parallel execution — all API calls run concurrently via Promise.all
• Graceful degradation — if one service fails, the others continue
