A: Hi Tania, in a sense yes... in many ways Wonders is better, but it depends on your use-case.

Wonders is really controllable, we combine more traditional search approach with AI, so that you choose the exact keywords and sources that will be used for AI processing. It is also much better for academic, technical, scientific, and patent information—as we draw on peer-reviewed journals & patent databases.

However, we don't support web search as a source; requires a bit more work from you as a user than just asking a question; and some features, like PDF upload, are not yet available.

You can see our roadmap.readwonders.com for more info on our future plans!

well google workspace gives you enterprise privacy on LMnotebook and gemini. So we are not sure yet if this is an alternative; of course the features there will be backed by the largest information services company in the world, Google, so the deep research would be hard to compete with from a startup unless they also commit to privacy and continuous improvement ;-)

I don't know who wrote this, but it wasn't our team.

Deep Research actually hallucinates far more than Wonders and you have little control over sources. As for privacy & security—we do not allow our providers to train models on our user's data, and as for continuous improvement—we have large universities and leading companies as our customers, whose needs we're committed to supporting too.

Does o3 deep research and gemini's 2.5pro deep research hallucinate more than Wonders? Just wondering. I thought those ones were pretty dang good if not the best in the world even above opus4 or china's (where privacy assurances are missing).

We haven't done any formal comparisons. Anecdotally, the issues stem from quoting irrelevant sources and context window limitations. With Wonders you have control over utilized sources, the literature is pre-vetted by peer-review, and we use a rolling context window to process the response. So, in general the responses are better grounded and traceable.
