​
Overview

Heurist Deep Research deploys multiple specialized AI agents to scan and analyze hundreds of web pages in minutes, providing comprehensive research and synthesis. Powered by Coinbase’s x402 protocol, it’s the first research platform where you pay per insight through instant micropayments - just 1 USDC per query.

​
The Power of Parallel Research

Traditional research tools process information sequentially. Heurist Deep Research unleashes a swarm of specialized agents working in parallel. When you ask a complex question, multiple agents simultaneously search different sources, cross-reference findings, and synthesize results into comprehensive insights. This parallel processing enables analysis of 100+ pages of information in minutes rather than hours.

x402 Protocol: Micropayments for AI

For decades, the HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status code sat dormant. Coinbase’s x402 protocol brings it to life, creating the internet’s first native payment layer designed for AI systems and machine-to-machine interactions. x402 enables instant settlement in approximately 200 milliseconds on Layer 2 networks, supports true micropayments down to fractions of a cent, and eliminates friction with no API keys, subscriptions, or manual invoicing. This infrastructure allows AI agents to autonomously pay for the data and services they need, creating an entirely new economy of machine-to-machine transactions.

​
How It Works

When you submit a research query, Heurist Deep Research orchestrates multiple specialized agents to tackle different aspects of your question. Web crawling agents use DuckDuckGo and Firecrawl to discover and extract relevant content from across the internet. Analysis agents process and understand the gathered information, identifying key insights and patterns. Synthesis agents combine findings from multiple sources into coherent, actionable insights. For example, asking about “emerging trends in AI safety research” triggers agents to scan recent academic papers, analyze blog posts from leading researchers, extract insights from conference proceedings, identify consensus and disagreements in the field, and synthesize findings into a comprehensive overview with citations.

​
Simple Economics: 1 USDC Per Query

Research should align cost with value. Heurist Deep Research costs exactly 1 USDC per query with no subscriptions, no hidden fees, and no paying for unused features. This pricing model is only possible because of x402’s micropayment capabilities. Traditional payment systems would make per-query pricing impossible as transaction fees alone would exceed the service cost. But x402’s near-zero fees and instant settlement make true pay-per-use economics viable for the first time.

​
Advanced Capabilities

The platform excels at comprehensive literature reviews, competitive analysis across multiple companies, technical documentation synthesis, market research and trend analysis, and academic research aggregation. Each query benefits from parallel processing across multiple data sources, automatic fact-checking and verification, intelligent summarization of lengthy documents, and extraction of key insights with proper citations.

​
Getting Started

Visit research.heurist.ai to begin your research. Connect your wallet (Base network recommended) and ensure you have USDC for payments. Enter your research query and receive comprehensive analysis from our agent network within minutes. The platform supports complex, multi-faceted questions that would traditionally require hours of manual research. Frame your queries clearly and specifically for best results. The more context you provide, the more targeted and relevant the analysis will be.

​
Use Cases

Heurist Deep Research transforms how professionals conduct research. Market researchers analyze competitor strategies and industry trends across hundreds of sources simultaneously. Academic researchers synthesize literature reviews from vast paper collections in minutes instead of days. Business analysts gather comprehensive market intelligence from diverse data sources. Content creators research topics deeply with automatic citation and fact-checking.

​
API Access

Programmatic access to Heurist Deep Research is available through our Heurist Mesh API. Integration enables automated research workflows, bulk query processing, custom agent orchestration, and result streaming with webhooks.

​
Privacy & Security

All transactions are secured by blockchain technology with an auditable payment trail via x402. The platform maintains no data retention beyond query sessions, uses encrypted communication between agents, and provides transparent, open-source agent code for verification.

​
Future Development

We’re continuously expanding the platform’s capabilities with additional specialized agents, enhanced visualization tools for research findings, team collaboration features for shared research projects, and integration with more data sources and academic databases. The goal is to make comprehensive research accessible to everyone through the power of AI agents and micropayments.
