Deep Dive & Verify

Get a long, cited research report โ€” or fact-check any page against the live web.

Two of Sprig's most useful powers go beyond a normal answer: researching a topic in depth, and checking whether what's on a page is actually true. Both need a provider with web search (Claude, Grok, Gemini, or OpenAI).

Deep Dive

When a quick page isn't enough, Deep Dive turns Sprig into a researcher. It searches the web from several angles, reads the most important sources, and composes a long, structured report โ€” an executive summary, a table of contents, sections with headings, comparison tables, and inline citations.

Reach for Deep Dive on questions like:

  • "Deep dive on the state of solid-state batteries in 2026."
  • "Give me a thorough buyer's guide to standing desks under $500."

It takes longer than a normal compose because Sprig is genuinely reading sources โ€” the payoff is a report you can trust and cite.

Verify

Every composed page shows where its facts came from, but you can also point Sprig at a page and ask it to check the claims. Verify runs a trust check: Sprig searches the live web to fact-check the page's main claims against reputable, independent sources, then composes a Trust Check page. Each key claim gets:

  • a verdict โ€” โœ… Verified ยท โš ๏ธ Contested ยท โ“ Unverified ยท โŒ False
  • a one-line basis for the verdict
  • a link to the source Sprig checked

It flags anything that reads as misinformation, propaganda, outdated-as-current, or single-sourced, and ends with a list of the sources it checked.

Verify is especially handy after Sprig composes a page from its own knowledge (the Sources panel will say so) โ€” one click confirms it against the real web.
