OpenAI just launched an autonomous research assistant, Deep Research.
We've been testing it for a few days @Every and it's like a bazooka for the curious mind:
- Give it a question, and it will autonomously search the web (or provided sources) to compile an answer
- It does this over many turns—taking between 1 and 30 minutes to return a response
- It returns MASSIVE well-researched reports, synthesized from many different sources, sometimes running 10k+ words
Think about it like a double decker tour bus but you’re the only passenger and the city you’re touring is the sum total of human knowledge
A few things we had it do:
- Write a comprehensive history of Every from 2020 to today
- Read chapter 1 of War and Peace, analyze Tolstoy's character descriptions, and tell us what that says about his view of human nature
- Trawl through recent 10ks to find unreported financial irregularities
- Research and compile a completely new wardrobe from a few photos
Of course, there are limitations:
- Sometimes it doesn't fully cite where a piece of information came from
- There's no "stop" button yet, so if it's going off the rails you have to start over
But it's very clearly a peak into the future of human-AI collaboration for knowledge work. Exciting times!
