Deep Research: OpenAI Introduces Virtual Research Analyst
As most of the AI products are not yet fully developed, Deep Research agent will also have to wait before it is tested and accepted by the users.

Close on the heels of releasing a general-purpose artificial intelligence (AI) agent named Operator, ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has announced its new AI offering Deep Research.
It is an AI-driven chatbot which can analyze multiple online sources, including text, images, and PDFs, to generate detailed reports at the level of a research analyst.
In a tweet posted today (February 3), OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said, “Today we launch Deep Research, our next agent. This is like a superpower; experts on demand! It can go use the internet, do complex research and reasoning, and give you back a report. It is really good, and can do tasks that would take hours/days and cost hundreds of dollars.”
The introduction of Deep Research AI agent is among the slew of forays that OpenAI has taken of late. OpenAI is part of a major $500-billion AI infrastructure project called Stargate announced by the U.S. President Donald Trump.
In the cut-throat AI market, the dominance of OpenAI has already been challenged by a new low-cost Chinese AI model DeepSeek which promises to defeat ChatGPT in the emerging chatbot arena.
Also, the AI agents market in which OpenAI has released Deep Research is getting overcrowded with a surfeit of AI agents which work like mobile apps and handle myriad tasks for the users.
As most of the AI products are not yet fully developed, Deep Research agent will also have to wait before it is tested and accepted by the users.
