Webhound
A research engine for agents and individuals that researches continuously within a budget and provides cited sources.
About Webhound
Webhound is a research engine for agents and individuals. It charges by use, and the site says every conclusion includes cited sources. Set a budget for one research task, and Hound keeps researching until the budget is reached; a higher budget lets it track more leads and test initial answers with more evidence. Example budgets are $1 for about 15 minutes, $5 for about 1 hour 15 minutes, $10 for about 2 hours 30 minutes, and $25 for about 6 hours 15 minutes, covering focused questions through broad topics. Duration is a planning estimate: at the Hound 1.0 rate, $1 is about 1 million input tokens, while output tokens and web access also consume budget, so actual duration varies by task.
