ChatGPT free users will soon be able to use Deep Research: Here’s what you can do with it | Technology News
Earlier this year, ChatGPT maker OpenAI unveiled Deep Research, a new feature which it says “conducts multi-step research on the internet for complex tasks.” As of now, the functionality is currently exclusive for Plus and Enterprise customers, but according to a recent post on X Tibor Blaho, OpenAI’s member of technical staff Isa Fulford has confirmed that Deep Research will soon be available for those on the free tier.
Powered a new version of the o3 model optimised for web browsing and data analysis, OpenAI says Deep Research allows users to quickly find, analyse, and synthesize hundreds of online sources and generate reports that mimic the levels of a research analyst. This is done searching through, interpreting and going through text, images and PDFs available on the internet.
For example, a user can describe a scene from a movie or a TV show and ask ChatGPT to get more information about it, including the episode of where it happened.

To initiate ‘Deep Research’, use prompts like “Create a report on smartphone adoption around the world and highlight the latest trends and changes.” These AI generated reports may also feature synthesised graphs and images from websites alongside clear citations and summary of the AI chatbots thought process. ChatGPT also lets you upload your own files and spreadsheets to add some more context to the prompt.
Since OpenAI hasn’t shared any timeline on when Deep Research will be available for free users, it might take some time before the AI startup rolls out the new feature to everyone.
