Run local deep research workflows with Local Deep Research
Use Local Deep Research to run private agentic research passes across web, academic, and local document sources with citations and an encrypted knowledge base.
Prerequisites
Local Deep Research, Docker or Python runtime, Ollama or OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint, search backend such as SearXNG, optional private document library
Installation
Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- docker run -d -p 11434:11434 --name ollama ollama/ollama
