● Salesforce AI Research has unveiled Enterprise Deep Research (EDR), a new system that transforms how companies handle data analysis. This represents "a fun paper showcasing how to put together advanced deep agents for enterprise use cases."
● EDR works through a coordinated team of AI agents. A Master Planning Agent breaks down complex queries, while four specialized research agents handle different data sources: General, Academic, GitHub, and LinkedIn. The system includes a built-in reflection mechanism that spots knowledge gaps and adjusts its approach on the fly.
● The researchers acknowledge that full automation brings tradeoffs. While it dramatically speeds up research, it can lead to over-reliance on automated decisions and accuracy challenges that sometimes require human oversight.
● For businesses drowning in data work, EDR offers real relief. It uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools for SQL queries, file analysis, visualization, and workflow automation—cutting costs while boosting speed. Companies can shift resources from grinding through data to actual strategic thinking.
● Benchmark tests on DeepResearch Bench and DeepConsult show EDR beating other AI frameworks at generating reports, synthesizing research, and scaling workflows. The architecture blends planning, specialized search, visualization, and self-correction in ways that could fundamentally change enterprise analytics.
● Elvis urged people to pay attention: "People are sleeping on Deep Agents. Start using them now." He highlighted EDR's smart integration of task decomposition, planning, specialized subagents, and MCP tools as proof that advanced AI techniques are ready for real business problems.
