Agents tend to stop at the first confident answer instead of continuing to search. Webhound positions itself as a research engine for agents, letting you set a budget for how much investigation a question deserves.
In one demo, it spent $5 investigating a border wall contract and surfaced an unreported $18M change, showing how the product tries to push agents past premature confidence.
