OpenAI’s Deep Research is an advanced AI tool integrated into ChatGPT, designed to conduct in-depth, multi-step research by autonomously browsing the web, analyzing diverse sources, and synthesizing information into comprehensive, well-cited reports. It is powered by OpenAI’s o3 model, optimized for reasoning and data analysis, and is targeted at professionals in fields like finance, science, policy, engineering, and journalism.
Key Features:
- Autonomous Research Process: Deep Research breaks down complex queries into smaller steps, searches the web, analyzes documents through multiple passes, and synthesizes findings into structured reports.
- Output: Reports are generated within 5–30 minutes and include citations, summaries of reasoning, and embedded images for clarity.
- Applications: Tasks range from academic research and market analysis to technical documentation and consumer decision-making.
- Improved Reasoning: The tool actively cross-references data to reduce errors and provides a visible chain of thought for transparency.
- Limitations: Despite its advanced capabilities, Deep Research can hallucinate facts, misinterpret sources, or fail to convey uncertainty accurately. Human review is recommended.
Accessibility:
Initially available to ChatGPT Pro users ($200/month), Deep Research is expanding to other subscription tiers (e.g., Plus, Team) with reduced query limits. Pro users can perform up to 120–200 queries monthly, while others receive 10 queries per month.
This tool is part of OpenAI’s broader strategy to enhance AI’s utility in knowledge-intensive domains by automating time-consuming research tasks while maintaining reliability through citations and transparency.
