Agents are lazy at research. They stop at the first confident answer, even when more research could change it. Webhound is your agent’s research engine. You use budget to decide how much research a question deserves. We gave it $5 to investigate a border wall contract. It found an unreported $18M change.

We asked 50 top investors what they expect founders to know about their space, then distilled the answers into the Founder Stack. 10 reports backed by ~15 continuous hours of research that go deeper on your market, customers, competitors, wedge, upside, and the case against you than anything else out there. If you don't learn something new, you get your money back.

Introducing Webhound Agent: Your AI research assistant powered by the best deep research money can buy. Most deep research products decide for you when to stop — and since they're subscription-based, the less work they do per query, the more they profit. Webhound flips that. You set the budget and Webhound keeps searching until it's used. $5 or $100 — every dollar goes into deeper search, more sources, and real verification. Today we're launching Webhound Agent — a full research assistant with a workspace. Start research from chat. Analyze results with code and follow-up questions. Organize everything in folders. Run multi-step pipelines. The agent remembers your preferences and gets better the more you use it. Pay-as-you-go. No subscriptions. $5 free to start. See real example reports at different budgets: webhound.ai/examples

We built a new deep research architecture and it ranked #1 on DeepResearch Bench. Most AI research tools optimize for speed. We built for depth. Long-running agents that scale quality with the time and budget you give them. Today we're launching Reports, a new product for comprehensive cited research. We also upgraded our Datasets product with the same architecture. Try it free at webhound.ai

Just so you know, this isn’t us / isn’t affiliated with Webhound in any way (although we know dogs have a tendency to be involved in rug pulls). Thanks for the free promo though :)
