Mind2Report: A Cognitive Deep Research Agent for Expert-Level Commercial Report Synthesis
This work addresses the need for reliable and comprehensive commercial report synthesis for business decision-making, representing an incremental improvement over existing deep research agents.
The paper tackles the problem of synthesizing high-quality commercial reports from noisy web sources by proposing Mind2Report, a cognitive deep research agent that emulates analysts, and it outperforms leading baselines like OpenAI and Gemini agents in experiments on 200 real-world tasks.
Synthesizing informative commercial reports from massive and noisy web sources is critical for high-stakes business decisions. Although current deep research agents achieve notable progress, their reports still remain limited in terms of quality, reliability, and coverage. In this work, we propose Mind2Report, a cognitive deep research agent that emulates the commercial analyst to synthesize expert-level reports. Specifically, it first probes fine-grained intent, then searches web sources and records distilled information on the fly, and subsequently iteratively synthesizes the report. We design Mind2Report as a training-free agentic workflow that augments general large language models (LLMs) with dynamic memory to support these long-form cognitive processes. To rigorously evaluate Mind2Report, we further construct QRC-Eval comprising 200 real-world commercial tasks and establish a holistic evaluation strategy to assess report quality, reliability, and coverage. Experiments demonstrate that Mind2Report outperforms leading baselines, including OpenAI and Gemini deep research agents. Although this is a preliminary study, we expect it to serve as a foundation for advancing the future design of commercial deep research agents.
