Perform DeepSearch Loop\n[Learn more about the Looping in n8n](https://docs.n8n.io/flow-logic/looping/#creating-loops)\n\nThe key of the Deep Research flow is its extensive data collection capability. In this implementation, this capability is represented by a recursive web search & scrape loop which starts with the original query and extended by AI-generated subqueries. How many subqueries to generate are determined the depth and breadth parameters specified.\n\n\"Learnings\" are generated for each subquery and accumulate on each iteration of the loop. When the loop finishes when depth limit is reached, all learnings are collected and it's these learnings are what we use to generate the report."

All of which n8n is really good at!\n\n### How it works\n* A form is used to first capture the user's research query and how deep they'd like the researcher to go.\n* Once submitted, a blank Notion page is created which will later hold the final report and the researcher gets to work.\n* The user's query goes through a recursive series of web serches and web scraping to collect data on the research topic to generate partial learnings.\n* Once complete, all learnings are combined and given to a reasoning LLM to generate the final report.\n* The report is then written to the placeholder Notion page created earlier. \n\n### How to use\n* Duplicate this Notion database to use with this template: https://jimleuk.notion.site/19486dd60c0c80da9cb7eb1468ea9afd?v=19486dd60c0c805c8e0c000ce8c87acf\n* Sign-up for [APIFY.com](https://www.apify.com?fpr=414q6) API Key for web search and scraping services.\n* Ensure you have access to OpenAI's o3-mini model. Alternatively, switch this out for o1 series.\n* You must publish this workflow and ensure the form url is publically accessible.\n\n### On Depth & Breadth Configuration\nFor more detailed reports, increase depth and breadth but be warned the workflow will take a exponentially more time and money to complete. The defaults are usually good enough.\n\nDepth=1 & Breadth=2 - will take about 10 - 15mins.\nDepth=1 & Breadth=4 - will take about 30 - 40mins.\nDpeth=3 & Breadth=5 - will take about 2 - 5 hours!\n\n### Need Help?\nJoin the [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/XPKeKXeB7d) or ask in the [Forum](https://community.n8n.io/)!\n\nHappy Hacking!"

"content": "## 6. Perform DeepSearch Loop\n[Learn more about the Looping in n8n](https://docs.n8n.io/flow-logic/looping/#creating-loops)\n\nThe key of the Deep Research flow is its extensive data collection capability. In this implementation, this capability is represented by a recursive web search & scrape loop which starts with the original query and extended by AI-generated subqueries. How many subqueries to generate are determined the depth and breadth parameters specified.\n\n\"Learnings\" are generated for each subquery and accumulate on each iteration of the loop. When the loop finishes when depth limit is reached, all learnings are collected and it's these learnings are what we use to generate the report."

All of which n8n is really good at!\n\n### How it works\n* A form is used to first capture the user's research query and how deep they'd like the researcher to go.\n* Once submitted, a blank Notion page is created which will later hold the final report and the researcher gets to work.\n* The user's query goes through a recursive series of web serches and web scraping to collect data on the research topic to generate partial learnings.\n* Once complete, all learnings are combined and given to a reasoning LLM to generate the final report.\n* The report is then written to the placeholder Notion page created earlier. \n\n### How to use\n* Duplicate this Notion database to use with this template: https://jimleuk.notion.site/19486dd60c0c80da9cb7eb1468ea9afd?v=19486dd60c0c805c8e0c000ce8c87acf\n* Sign-up for [APIFY.com](https://www.apify.com?fpr=414q6) API Key for web search and scraping services.\n* Ensure you have access to OpenAI's o3-mini model. Alternatively, switch this out for o1 series.\n* You must publish this workflow and ensure the form url is publically accessible.\n\n### On Depth & Breadth Configuration\nFor more detailed reports, increase depth and breadth but be warned the workflow will take a exponentially more time and money to complete. The defaults are usually good enough.\n\nDepth=1 & Breadth=2 - will take about 10 - 15mins.\nDepth=1 & Breadth=4 - will take about 30 - 40mins.\nDpeth=3 & Breadth=5 - will take about 2 - 5 hours!\n\n### Need Help?\nJoin the [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/XPKeKXeB7d) or ask in the [Forum](https://community.n8n.io/)!\n\nHappy Hacking!"
