Description
Research has no natural finish line. An agent can spend ten minutes or ten hours on the same question, and both answers can look finished. Webhound lets you choose how much work the question deserves. Give it a question and a dollar budget. It follows leads and checks weak claims until the budget is consumed, then returns a cited report or sourced dataset with the sources and working documents behind it. Run Webhound yourself or call it from your agent through MCP or the API.
