Three updates that make research sessions smarter: Webhound can now pull in work from previous sessions, Plan mode is fully conversational, and you can split a research budget into phases so Webhound doesn't jump to conclusions too early.
Webhound can now read your other sessions.
There are two ways to use this:
- 1.Attach specific sessions — type @ in the chat box or click + then Attach Sessions to tag sessions by name. Webhound gets a preview of each attached session and can fetch the full content as needed.
- 2.Ask Webhound to search — just describe what you're looking for. Examples: "look at my last 5 sessions," "find any sessions about competitor analysis," "summarize everything I've researched on AI regulation." Webhound can browse your sessions by date or search them by topic.
Webhound only sees sessions you own. It won't proactively dig through your history—it only looks when you ask or when you attach sessions explicitly.
Reports now split your budget into research phases.
This solves a common problem: Webhound would sometimes pick an answer early, then spend the remaining budget looking for evidence that confirms that answer instead of exploring alternatives.
With phases you can tell it exactly how to allocate its time. For example: "spend 90% searching broadly, then use the last 10% to make your recommendation." Or give it a multi-step plan: "20% gathering current events, 30% finding historical parallels, 25% narrowing to the best matches, 25% writing the final analysis."
You don't have to define phases yourself—Webhound creates them automatically based on your query. But you can override them in Plan mode or by sending a follow-up message while research is running.
Plan mode is now conversational.
Instead of generating a list of yes/no questions (which were rarely useful), Webhound talks through the research plan with you before it starts. You can discuss scope, refine the approach, or ask it to focus on specific angles—then kick off the research when you're happy with the plan.
Try it out
- •Start a new session and type @ to attach an old session as context.
- •Ask Webhound something like "summarize my last 3 reports" — no attachment needed.
- •Use Plan mode to talk through a research plan before running it.
- •Try specifying time allocation: "spend the first half exploring options, second half comparing the top 3."
