OpenAI announced on Tuesday that it’s rolling out deep research, its web browsing agent that creates thorough research reports, to all paying ChatGPT users.
ChatGPT Plus, Team, Enterprise, and Edu subscribers will get 10 deep research queries per month. OpenAI’s Deep research was previously only available to ChatGPT Pro users, the company’s $200-a-month tier; they now get 120 deep research queries a month, up from 100 at launch.
OpenAI, Google, and Perplexity are racing to put their competing deep research products — which all have basically the same name and generate long reports — in the hands of more users. Google rolled out its deep research agent to all Gemini Advanced users last week.
Tech companies hope deep research tools help people see value in their pricey AI subscriptions. Though OpenAI notes it needs to do more testing around how these agents could be used to persuade people.
