Hi HN! I'm excited to share a project I've been working on in the past year: GPT Researcher, an open-source autonomous agent designed to simplify and accelerate the research process.
In my experience, one of the biggest challenges in research is efficiently gathering, filtering, and synthesizing credible information from a vast sea of sources. Traditional search engines often fall short, requiring users to sift through multiple sites to piece together relevant insights. This inefficiency led me to create GPT Researcher, a tool that automates the entire research process—bringing you comprehensive, accurate, and unbiased reports in just minutes.
The inspiration for GPT Researcher came from my struggles with existing research tools and autonomous agents (like AutoGPT and Perplexity), which often failed to deliver timely and reliable information (and often just got stuck). I dove into research on various AI methods and technologies, including flow-based programming, multi-agent frameworks, and RAG.
GPT Researcher operates by breaking down complex research tasks into smaller, manageable subtasks, which are then tackled by specialized agents. These agents work in parallel, significantly speeding up the research process. The tool scrapes information from over hundreds of trusted online sources, filters it, and compiles a detailed report tailored to your specific needs.
For example, whether you need to plan a trip, optimize your LinkedIn profile, or analyze stock performance, GPT Researcher gathers all relevant information, organizes it, and delivers a well-structured report with cited sources—all within a few minutes.
I'm happy to update that GPTR has crossed over 13K Github stars and 5K developers on our Discord! Our goal remains the same - democratizing autonomous research for everyone, without the need to pay for existing tools.
