Doing research with agents is fun until they blow way past budget, jumble the sources, and don't even give you the best possible answer, just sound confident.
Oh and research on local data - no idea where it gets leaked.
I built mole to solve this:
https://github.com/lajosdeme/mole
A deep-research agent with an enforced budget, verified quotes, and a privacy boundary for local data.
1. Never spend more than you budgeted (measured overshoot is 0%).
2. Every claim carries a source
3. Data stays local (give a CSV, it'll analyze w/o data leaving your machine)
Free and open-source, give it a spin.
