US tech giant OpenAI introduced a ChatGPT tool named “deep research” ahead of important meetings in Tokyo, amid rising competition in the AI sector from China’s DeepSeek chatbot on Monday (today).
OpenAI brought generative AI into the public spotlight with ChatGPT in 2022, stating that its new tool “achieves in minutes what would take a human several hours.”
In a livestreamed video announcement, OpenAI researchers demonstrated how the tool can analyze web search data to recommend ski equipment for a winter vacation in Japan.
“Deep research is OpenAI’s next agent that can do work for you independently—you give it a prompt, and ChatGPT will find, analyze, and synthesize hundreds of online sources to create a comprehensive report at the level of a research analyst.”
