Deep Research turns any question into a cited research report by searching and synthesizing multiple web sources in parallel. Cross-references findings, assigns confidence scores, and returns structured intelligence with field-level citations.
Standard web search returns links — you still have to read and synthesize everything yourself. Deep Research does the reading for you. It explores multiple sources, identifies where they agree and disagree, and produces a structured report you can act on. Multiple depth tiers let you trade speed against thoroughness: a quick scan takes under a minute, a full analyst-grade deep dive runs for up to 25 minutes and covers far more ground.
What you can do
- research — run a deep research job on any topic; choose a processor tier from lite (fast summary) to ultra (analyst-grade deep dive with full cross-referencing)
Who it's for
Analysts, researchers, journalists, consultants, and anyone who needs a thorough answer backed by sources rather than a quick summary. Also useful for due diligence, market research, competitive intelligence, and fact-checking.
How to use it
- Use research with a specific, detailed question — more detail gives better results
- Choose a processor: pro is the default and handles most research tasks well; ultra for the deepest coverage
- Add -fast to any tier name (e.g. pro-fast) for faster results at the cost of some depth
- Set output_mode to "text" for a readable markdown report, or "auto" for structured JSON with citations
- The tool runs asynchronously — it returns a job ID; poll with get_job_result until complete
