OpenAI Unveils Deep Research: A Groundbreaking Agentic Capability

OpenAI is releasing a powerful agentic capability that enables ChatGPT to conduct complex, multi-step research tasks online. The feature, called Deep Research, reportedly achieves in tens of minutes what could take a human researcher hours or even days.

A Significant Milestone in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

OpenAI describes Deep Research as a significant milestone in its journey toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). "The ability to synthesise knowledge is a prerequisite for creating new knowledge," says OpenAI. "For this reason, Deep Research marks a significant step toward our broader goal of developing AGI."

Agentic AI Enables ChatGPT to Assist with Complex Research

Deep Research empowers ChatGPT to find, analyse, and synthesise information from hundreds of online sources autonomously. With just a prompt from the user, the tool can deliver a comprehensive report, comparable to the output of a research analyst, according to OpenAI.

Applications and Benefits

Drawing capabilities from a variant of OpenAI’s upcoming “o3” model, the aim is to free users from time-consuming, labour-intensive information gathering. Whether it’s a competitive analysis of streaming platforms, an informed policy review, or even personalised recommendations for a new commuter bike, Deep Research promises precise and reliable results.

Key Features and Benefits

Importantly, every output includes full transparency and accountability, ensuring that users can trust the results. This feature is particularly important in industries where accuracy and reliability are paramount.
