ChatGPT Deep Research is OpenAI's autonomous research mode that browses the web, reads documents, and synthesizes multi-step analyses into comprehensive reports — often spending 5–30 minutes researching before responding. It excels at market research, competitive analysis, and literature reviews where breadth and synthesis matter more than speed. Integrated directly into ChatGPT Plus, it's the most accessible deep research tool for non-technical users.
