OpenAI announces new 'deep research' tool for ChatGPT

Tokyo: US tech giant OpenAI on Monday unveiled a ChatGPT tool called "deep research" ahead of high-level meetings in Tokyo, as China's DeepSeek chatbot heats up competition in the AI field.

"Deep research is OpenAI's next agent that can do work for you independently - you give it a prompt, and ChatGPT will find, analyze, and synthesize hundreds of online sources to create a comprehensive report at the level of a research analyst," OpenAI said in a statement.
