What is AI Deep Research?
Deep research is an advanced mode where the AI autonomously conducts extensive, multi step research on your behalf. It reads dozens (sometimes hundreds) of web pages, follows leads across sources, compiles findings, and delivers a comprehensive research report. Think of it as having a research assistant who spends minutes (not seconds) investigating a topic thoroughly, rather than giving a quick surface level answer.
Common use cases- Conducting market research, competitive analysis, or literature reviews across many sources
- Investigating complex questions that require synthesizing information from multiple domains
- Preparing detailed briefings or reports where accuracy and comprehensiveness matter more than speed
Step 1: Plan
Analyzes your query and creates a research strategy
Step 2: Search
Performs multiple web searches with different angles and keywords
Step 3: Read
Reads and analyzes dozens to hundreds of web pages, PDFs, and images
Step 4: Reason
Synthesizes findings, identifies patterns, resolves contradictions
Step 5: Write
Produces a structured report with sections, summaries, and inline citations

Deep Research Tips
- Be extremely specific: "Analyze the competitive landscape of project management tools in Europe, focusing on pricing, market share, and AI features" produces much better results than "Tell me about project management tools"
- Attach a spreadsheet or document with existing data so it can build on it
- Use follow up prompts mid research to redirect if it goes down an unproductive path
- For academic research, specify: "Focus on peer reviewed papers and official government statistics"
