DeepSearcher combines cutting-edge LLMs (OpenAI o3, Qwen3, DeepSeek, Grok 4, Claude 4 Sonnet, Llama 4, QwQ, etc.) and Vector Databases (Milvus, Zilliz Cloud etc.) to perform search, evaluation, and reasoning based on private data, providing highly accurate answer and comprehensive report. This project is suitable for enterprise knowledge management, intelligent Q&A systems, and information retrieval scenarios.
🚀 Features
- Private Data Search: Maximizes the utilization of enterprise internal data while ensuring data security. When necessary, it can integrate online content for more accurate answers.
- Vector Database Management: Supports Milvus and other vector databases, allowing data partitioning for efficient retrieval.
- Flexible Embedding Options: Compatible with multiple embedding models for optimal selection.
- Multiple LLM Support: Supports DeepSeek, OpenAI, and other large models for intelligent Q&A and content generation.
- Document Loader: Supports local file loading, with web crawling capabilities under development.
🎉 Demo
📖 Quick Start
Installation
Install DeepSearcher using one of the following methods:
#### Option 1: Using pip Create and activate a virtual environment(Python 3.10 version is recommended).
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activateInstall DeepSearcher
pip install deepsearcherFor optional dependencies, e.g., ollama:
pip install "deepsearcher[ollama]"#### Option 2: Install in Development Mode We recommend using uv for faster and more reliable installation. Follow the offical installation instructions to install it.
Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:
git clone https://github.com/zilliztech/deep-searcher.git && cd deep-searcherSynchronize and install dependencies:
uv sync
source .venv/bin/activateFor more detailed development setup and optional dependency installation options, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
Quick start demo
To run this quick start demo, please prepare your OPENAI_API_KEY in your environment variables. If you change the LLM in the configuration, make sure to prepare the corresponding API key.
from deepsearcher.configuration import Configuration, init_config
from deepsearcher.online_query import query
config = Configuration()
# Customize your config here,
# more configuration see the Configuration Details section below.
config.set_provider_config("llm", "OpenAI", {"model": "o1-mini"})
config.set_provider_config("embedding", "OpenAIEmbedding", {"model": "text-embedding-ada-002"})
init_config(config = config)Don't lose this
Three weeks from now, you'll want Deep Searcher again. Will you remember where to find it?
Save it to your library and the next time you need Deep Searcher, it’s one tap away — from any AI app you use. Group it into a bench with the rest of the team for that kind of task and you can pull the whole stack at once.
⚡ Pro tip for geeks: add a-gnt 🤵🏻♂️ as a custom connector in Claude or a custom GPT in ChatGPT — one click and your library is right there in the chat. Or, if you’re in an editor, install the a-gnt MCP server and say “use my [bench name]” in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, or Windsurf.
a-gnt's Take
Our honest review
Open Source Deep Research Alternative to Reason and Search on Private Data. Written in Python. Best for anyone looking to make their AI assistant more capable in data & databases. It's completely free and works across most major AI apps. This one just landed in the catalog — worth trying while it's fresh.
Tips for getting started
Tap "Get" above, pick your AI app, and follow the steps. Most installs take under 30 seconds.
Heads up: this needs an API key to work. You'll get one from the service's website (usually free). The setup guide tells you exactly where.
Your data stays between you and your AI — nothing is shared with us or anyone else.
