OpenAI is announcing a new AI "agent" designed to help people conduct in-depth, complex research using ChatGPT, the company's AI-powered chatbot platform.

Tech giant OpenAI has unveiled a pay-for-access tool called ‘deep research’, which synthesizes information from dozens or hundreds of websites into a cited report several pages long. The tool follows a similar one from Google released in December and acts as a personal assistant, doing the equivalent of hours of work in tens of minutes.

ChatGPT can now write complex reports and cite its sources. That could free up your workers and change how you task them dramatically.
