An expert-level research tool in ChatGPT

Use trusted, authenticated sources

Deep research prioritizes connected sources — private files, apps, paid datasets, and approved URLs — and delivers citation-backed reports you can verify quickly.

Control the process from start to finish

Edit the plan, refine focus, update sources, or interrupt at any time. Track progress in real time and get 30-minute reports in what would otherwise take hours or days.

Built for complex questions

Deep research delivers higher-quality outputs with reduced latency. Analyze markets, review regulations, compare scientific literature, or synthesize long technical documents with structured, long-context reasoning.

Enterprise-grade permissions

Administrators can manage access to apps, enforce source controls, and ensure sensitive data stays within the right teams.

Turning complex questions into clear direction
