Deep Research

The idea: one narrow question, then let it work.

  1. Open ChatGPT and start a new chat.
  2. Tap the tools menu next to the message box and choose deep research.
  3. Ask one narrow question, like: compare three budget laptops under $500 for a student who travels.
  4. It shows you a plan first. Peek, then let it run.
  5. Come back a little later: a report with clickable sources will be waiting.

Deep research is on the free plan, with a small allowance, and it likes to take its time. Your remaining usage always shows in ChatGPT's Settings → Usage.
