Webhound

Webhound is a deep research service that runs an autonomous research agent against a question and a budget, then returns an answer with the sources behind it. It is built to be called by other agents, and it also has an interactive interface for people. The user sets a budget before a run. Webhound keeps following leads and checking sources until that budget is used, so the maximum cost is known in advance. Outputs include cited long form Reports that export to Word or HTML, Datasets in which every cell is sourced and which export as CSV, JSON or Excel, and an Ask mode. Every claim links to the page and tool call behind it. Agents can start runs through an MCP server or an API and receive structured JSON, with no human in the loop. In the app a person can read and verify results, steer a run, publish and share findings, and explore claim traces. It suits analysts, founders and developers who need market research, competitive mapping or sourced datasets, as well as teams that give research tools to their own agents. Pricing is pay as you go with no subscription. The Hound 1.0 model costs $1 for about 15 minutes of research, with example budgets of $5, $10 and $25. New accounts include one $5 Report or Dataset.
