AI Agent ‘Deep Research’ Speeds Up Online Research Tasks

OpenAI has launched Deep Research, an AI agent designed to carry out time-consuming online research tasks. This tool will be available to paying customers through its ChatGPT chatbot, aiming to complete tasks that would normally take a person “many hours” in tens of minutes. Users can input queries and the system will scour the web for answers, creating an in-depth report. Deep Research is the second AI agent released by OpenAI this year, following Operator, which helps with booking flights and completing purchases. The service is initially available to those who pay $200 per month for ChatGPT Pro, but plans to expand to other paying customers in the future.
