Research As Code

Make research a dependency.

Declare the data your agents need. DeepSieve researches it, keeps it current on your schedule, and serves a stable, sourced dataset whenever they ask.

Declared schema
entities · fields · schedule
Maintained dataset
sourced · scored · re-checked
Your agent or app
reads · reacts to changes
re-checked on your schedule

Your agent should not research the same question twice.

Model memory ages. Live search varies from call to call. A maintained dataset gives every caller the same current facts, with the evidence attached.

Model memory

Answers immediately, from a world frozen at a training cutoff it cannot report.

Strength
Instant
Limit
Stale and opaque
Search on demand

Finds today's pages, but rebuilds the answer each time, and two calls can disagree.

Strength
Current at request time
Limit
Variable, slow, paid on every call
Maintained research

Researched once into the shape you declared, kept current on schedule, read like a table.

Strength
Structured and reusable
Limit
Needs asynchronous research runs

Declare once. Read continuously.

  1. 1Define

    Declare a blueprint: the entities and fields, in plain language or code.

  2. 2Build + maintain

    Each run researches, scores and sources it; monitoring re-checks it on your schedule.

  3. 3Read + react

    Agents and apps query it; your system can respond when values change.

See what the dependency returns.

What your coding agent declares: the AI providers it depends on, and a lifecycle in days per column.

Illustrative example in the API’s real response shape. Field names are the contract; the values are a sample.

Plug it into the tools your agents already use.

Set up DeepSieve by following the instructions here:

Build the whole loop against dry_run first: it’s free and unlimited, returns real response shapes, and bills and saves nothing.

Production details

Stop making agents relearn the web.

Give them maintained research they can query like any other dependency.

Autonomous systems are only as trustworthy as the facts they can inspect and revisit.
