Deep research is a specialized AI capability designed to perform in-depth, multi-step research using data on the public web. It's fine-tuned on advanced reasoning models and can autonomously search for and read information from diverse online sources.

How do I use deep research?

In Artifact, select 'Deep research' from the tools dropdown when typing in your query. Tell Artifact what you need—whether it's a comprehensive competitive analysis or a personalized report on the best commuter bike that meets your specific requirements.

Once it starts running, a sidebar appears with a summary of the model's thought process and websites it's visiting to find relevant information. Deep research may take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes to complete its work.

How does deep research differ from search?

Deep research and search in Artifact are designed for different types of tasks. Search is great for quick, interactive real-time answers, while deep research is built for more complex tasks that require greater depth and thoroughness.

Deep research searches through hundreds of sources, analyzes the information, and puts together a detailed report with citations and data. It deliberately takes more time (ranging anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes) to deliver a thorough, well-documented, and complete response.

Does deep research cite its sources?

Yes, the output from deep research includes clearly labeled citations or source links. This enables you to better understand where information is coming from, fact check, or track down details as needed.
