Highlighting when the AI agent might be useful, the company said that Deep Research is built for s who do intensive research-based work in areas such as finance, science, policy, and engineering. It is also aimed at s who prefer “hyper-personalised recommendations” on high-ticket purchases that generally require research such as cars, furniture, and home appliances.

ChatGPT Pro s can find the Deep Research button underneath the text field next to the Search icon. s can type their query and tap on the icon to activate the AI agent. The agent will respond with a follow-up request, asking for details about the s' preferences and more details about their requirements. s can also add a file to provide it with more context.

After responding to the follow-up request, the AI agent will begin researching, with a thin bar showing the progress. A sidebar will also appear with a summary of the steps taken and sources used. The output can take between five to 30 minutes, and the will get a comprehensive report once the research is done.

Powered by a version of the o3 model, the AI agent will use citations wherever information is taken from a particular source. It will also use tables and sub-headings to make the report readable. OpenAI says in the next few weeks, the company will add for images, data visualisation, and other analytic output in these reports.

Currently, it is only available to ChatGPT Pro subscribers, but the company said it will soon be added to the Plus and Teams subscriptions. Notably, the Pro subscription is priced at $200 (roughly Rs. 17,500) a month.
