Benchmarking Hybrid Deep Research Across Database Querying and Web Search

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 8, 2026 · UTC

While autonomous agents have made significant strides in "deep research" by iteratively navigating the open web to synthesize information, real-world problem-solving is rarely confined to a single environment. Complex analytical tasks inherently require agents to weave together evidence from both ambiguous unstructured text (e.g., the open web) and highly precise structured data (e.g., relational databases). However, existing benchmarks evaluate these modalities in isolation, failing to capture the critical "handoff" - the ability to preserve constraints when moving evidence between systems. W
