OpenAI Introduces Advanced ChatGPT Agent for Comprehensive Research

OpenAI has launched a new AI agent, named deep research, aimed at assisting users in conducting thorough and complex research across various fields using ChatGPT.

OpenAI just dropped a game-changer for the research-obsessed: a new AI agent that’s all about diving deep into the nitty-gritty. Dubbed ‘deep research,’ this feature on the ChatGPT platform is a dream come true for professionals drowning in data—think finance whizzes, science buffs, policy wonks, and engineering geeks. And hey, if you’re about to drop serious cash on a car, fridge, or that perfect sofa, this tool’s got your back.

Forget quick Google searches. Deep research is your go-to when you need to dissect info from all over the web like a pro. Right now, it’s a perk for ChatGPT Pro subscribers, capped at 100 deep dives a month. But hold onto your hats—Plus, Team, and Enterprise users will get their turn soon, with way more queries to play with.

Using it? Piece of cake. Hit the ‘deep research’ button, throw in your question, and if you’re feeling fancy, attach a file or spreadsheet. Then, grab a coffee; responses can take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes (you’ll get a ping when it’s ready). Right now, it’s all text, but pictures, graphs, and more are on the way to spice things up.

Under the hood, OpenAI’s tweaked its o3 reasoning model to be a web-savvy, data-crunching beast. It can sift through your uploads, whip up graphs, and even point you to the exact source it’s quoting. But let’s keep it real—OpenAI admits it’s not perfect. Sometimes, it might trip up or jump to the wrong conclusion. (Hey, even geniuses have off days.)
