Deep Search is RAG - that is, if we're still expanding the acronym instead of treating it as a word that just means "queries a vector database".
Prediction for Next Hot Thing in Q4 2025 / Q1 2026: someone will make the Nobel prize-worthy discovery that you can stuff results of your deep search into a database (vector or otherwise) and then use it to improve the ability to compile a higher-quality report from much larger amount of sources.
We'll call it DeepRAG or Retrieval Augmented Deep Research or something.
Prediction for Q2 2026: next Nobel prize awarded for realizing you may as well stop treating report generation as the core aspect of "deep research" (as it obviously makes no sense, but hey, time traveler's spoilers, sorry!), and stop at the "stuff search results into a database" and let users "chat with the search results", making the research an interactive process.
We'll call this huge scientific breakthrough "DeepRAG With Human Feedback", or "DRHF".
Do you find the chat interface difficult for the average user to understand? But I believe that integrating voice input—allowing users to receive spoken responses—along with a mind map that visually connects key points within the answer could make even complex information much easier to grasp.
