The ChatGPT AI Deep Research Query Feature - Online Computer Tips
As artificial intelligence continues to integrate into our daily lives, we see its presence in various applications such as the Windows operating system, Office apps with Copilot, and third-party tools like Adobe Acrobat. Software companies are racing to incorporate AI features into their products to stay competitive.
One prominent AI model that revolutionized information retrieval is OpenAI’s ChatGPT LLM. This model allows users to access detailed information without conventional web searches. Notably, you can even create or edit images using text inputs. A recent addition to OpenAI's ChatGPT LLM is the Deep Research feature, aimed at streamlining complex research tasks.
Understanding Deep Research
Deep Research is an advanced functionality within ChatGPT that automates intricate research processes by browsing the web, analyzing data, and generating detailed reports complete with citations. This feature significantly reduces the time required for in-depth research, providing results in a matter of 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the complexity.
Types of Queries
Depending on your account type, you can perform two types of queries:
- Regular Queries: In-depth research queries.
- Lightweight Queries: quicker, simpler queries.
How to Use Deep Research
To utilize the Deep Research feature, visit the ChatGPT website and log in with your OpenAI account. You can opt for a free or subscription-based account. Enter your query, click on the Deep Research button, and initiate the process.
For instance, you can formulate a query such as "Conduct a deep market analysis of the top 5 antivirus programs in 2025," specifying aspects like feature comparisons, pricing, customer satisfaction ratings, reported issues, and target user groups. You may be prompted to provide additional details to refine your query.
Once you submit your query, ChatGPT will commence the research process, culminating in a detailed report within a few minutes. The results may include an introduction paragraph, product comparisons, user reviews, and citations from reputable sources.
You can extract information directly from the results for your use. Microsoft Copilot users can also explore a similar feature named Think Deeper for enhanced functionalities.
