Slock08Q: Deep-Research, and future access to new features as LTD customers
1) Deep-Research: you mentioned that AgenticFlow’s “deep-research” capability surpasses Manus.im and is only a fraction of the cost. Is this “deep-research” available for all LTD tiers?
2) Your product page doesn’t say “AppSumo customers will be grandfathered into all new features accesses”. This causes concerns. I want to make sure AgenticFlow won’t “burn/stab” us down the line like InVideo.io and Meiro.cc have done. (They took our money to build their new features. As they grew, they separated us to “free tier” or “super slow server”, and we never got to use the new features that we invested in, that we stomached years of bugs & errors, for the hope of lifetime new features dividends). How do we know if AgenticFlow is good, loyal & ethical, and not one of them? Why don’t you include that clause in your AppSumo product page?

Edited May 4, 2025A: Hey Slock08,
Thanks for bringing up these critical points about Deep Research and future updates – completely understand your concerns, especially given past experiences with other LTDs. Let me clarify:
- Deep Research Availability & Cost: Yes, our "Deep Research" capability is available for you to use! You can try it out by cloning our agent template "Ari" here: https://agenticflow.ai/app/explore/agent/56bcbd55-d408-4e1a-9641-61950d884800. This implementation leverages the state-of-the-art search capabilities from OpenAI, so it does require you to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) for OpenAI. We don't have an official benchmark against Manus, but based on personal testing (as shared here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/seanp-ai_manusai-autonomousagents-agenticflow-activity-7314854996401917952-lt66), our approach using efficient scraping and AI analysis aims to be significantly faster and more cost-effective for gathering comprehensive web data compared to methods that might rely on slower, more expensive processes.
- Future Updates & LTD Commitment: We absolutely hear your concern about being grandfathered into future updates. Please rest assured, the official AppSumo deal terms explicitly state: "Lifetime access to AgenticFlow. All future Pro (Tiers 1-2) or Team (Tiers 3-4) Plan updates. If Plan name changes, deal will be mapped to the new Plan name with all accompanying updates." This commitment is part of our agreement with AppSumo. Any new features or improvements added to the core Pro and Team plans (which your LTD tier maps to) will be included in your lifetime deal. Features specifically designated for our higher-tier Business/Enterprise plans (like the advanced Multi-Agent system, which we're offering as an optional add-on for Tier 4 due to community demand) are separate to ensure the LTD remains sustainable for everyone. I wasn't part of the AppSumo community during those other deals, so I can't comment on them, but we are building AgenticFlow for the long haul with our community. Ultimately, it comes down to trust. If you'd like to discuss this further and get a better feel for our team and vision, I'd be happy to jump on a call – feel free to book time here: https://calendly.com/sean-agenticflow/30min.
We value our LTD supporters immensely and are committed to delivering ongoing value within the clear terms outlined in the AppSumo deal.
