soulscrapewhat Deep-research modes is.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini all offer deep-research modes: pose a question, get a long cited report synthesized from the web in one pass. Excellent for 'what's the state of X' questions. The output is a report — a frozen document, one query deep, rebuilt from scratch next time.
where they differ.
Soulscrape builds a structured person index instead of a report: a typed claims ledger (fact, stated belief, pattern, speculation), a timeline, themes, relations, and open questions — validated against a public schema, revisable over time, and publishable as a packet any agent or person can consume. A deep-research report says what it found; a dossier is a maintained artifact that also says what it didn't.
which one fits.
choose Deep-research modes when
- Your question is about a topic, not a person.
- You want a one-shot report you read once and move on.
- You don't need the result to stay current, structured, or remixable.
choose soulscrape when
- Your subject is a person, and you want their beliefs, decisions, and style — not just mentions.
- You want a structured packet: typed claims, contradictions preserved, open questions explicit.
- You want to revise it, publish it, or hand the JSON to another agent.
- You want research under your instructions with authorized sources — including private corpora a web search can't see.
