What Is Dive Deeper?
Dive Deeper is Headlinne's AI research mode. It combines Headlinne's own reporting with live web search into one cited, story-driven research report — with timelines, knowledge graphs, and a follow-up chat that remembers your research.
✦ Dive Deeper
Dive Deeper vs. Reading the Full Article
Read mode gives you one reporter's complete account of a story. Dive Deeper gives you a cited research report built from many sources. Here is when to use each.
✦ Dive Deeper
