guild vs deep-research

guild: guild is a compiled Go binary with an MCP server backed by embedded SQLite, providing shared context, memory, and task coordination for AI coding agents. It allows multiple agents across different editors to share state safely using atomic locks. State persists locally and includes hybrid search (BM25+vector).; deep-research: Deep Research is an AI-powered tool designed to generate comprehensive research reports rapidly, leveraging advanced AI models and internet connectivity. It prioritizes user privacy by processing and storing all data locally.
