Kingy AI Take

This is a major research-agent launch because Google exposed long-horizon research as a developer-facing agent, not just an app feature.

Who it is for

Developers and professional research teams that need autonomous, cited reports over web sources, proprietary data streams, files, and MCP-connected tools.

What feels promising

Deep Research Max blends web, files, MCP sources, and visual outputs, which is exactly where professional research agents need to go.

What feels unproven

Research agents still require source review, compliance checks, and domain-expert validation before high-stakes use.
