Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has unveiled a groundbreaking new AI feature called Deep Research, which promises to revolutionize how complex research tasks are conducted. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Altman described the new tool as akin to having “experts on demand,” capable of performing internet-based research, sophisticated reasoning, and report generation.

According to Altman, Deep Research significantly reduces the time and cost of conducting high-level research. Tasks that previously required hours or even days, along with substantial financial investment, can now be completed swiftly with AI-driven precision.

This marks a major step forward for OpenAI, as the company continues to expand its suite of AI capabilities beyond chatbot interactions. The integration of Deep Research into AI workflows could have far-reaching implications for professionals in academia, journalism, finance, and various industries reliant on in-depth analysis.

With AI evolving to handle increasingly complex tasks, OpenAI’s latest development underscores the growing role of artificial intelligence in enhancing productivity and accessibility to high-quality research.

“Today we launch deep research, our next agent.
This is like a superpower; experts on demand!
It can go use the internet, do complex research and reasoning, and give you back a report.
It is really good, and can do tasks that would take hours/days and cost hundreds of dollars.”
