Lecture on Deep Research in AI Tools

Introduction

• Overview of Deep Research as a powerful feature in AI tools, released by OpenAI.
• Available in AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Grok.
• Known as "Deep Search" or "Deeper Search" in Grok.
• Key focus: how to get better results using Deep Research.

Deep Research Setup

• Initiate with a fresh chat session, ideally using a reasoning chat function.
