What the publisher says
<p>How It Works</p><p>The Research API runs an autonomous reasoning loop that scales with the complexity of the question. It plans its own search strategy, breaks the question into sub-questions, and manages context across hundreds or thousands of reasoning steps. At the highest effort levels, a single query can run more than 1,000 reasoning turns and process up to 10 million tokens, well beyond what any single LLM context window can hold.</p><p><br></p><p>Configurable Research Depth</p><p>The `research_effort` parameter controls how much compute the API allocates to a query. Higher effort means more searches, deeper source reading, and more cross-referencing at the cost of longer response times. Four tiers are available: `lite`, `standard`, `deep`, and `exhaustive`. Pricing is fixed per tier.</p><p></p><p>Use Cases</p><p>- <strong>Research automation</strong>: Replace manual research workflows with an API call that returns a cited, synthesized answer.</p><p>- <strong>Question answering</strong>: Power internal or customer-facing Q&A with grounded, multi-source responses.</p><p>- <strong>Due diligence and compliance</strong>: Synthesize regulatory, financial, or competitive intelligence into citation-backed briefs.</p><p>- <strong>Content generation</strong>: Generate cited drafts grounded in real-time sources across any domain.</p><p><br></p><p>Enterprise</p><p>- 99.99% uptime</p><p>- SOC2-certified infrastructure with zero data retention</p><p>- <a href="http://You.com">You.com</a> serves 1B+ queries monthly across 3,000+ enterprise customers</p>

The SettleTop steps above are possible but not automated yet, so today they sit open and a perfect 10 is out of reach. Open information like firmographics and reach has fewer steps to climb, so it sits a little higher for the same visible evidence.
Information shown here reflects the best available information at the time of assessment and may be incomplete, outdated, or subject to change. It should be independently verified before being relied upon for any decision. SettleTop is not liable for any errors, omissions, or decisions made in reliance on this information.
