deep research
In this channel's material, deep research is an agentic AI research mode in tools like ChatGPT: you give it a prompt, and it autonomously searches the web, reads many sources, and produces a long, multi-section written report. Two conversations show it in action: - Literature reviews with a librarian's limits. Nadia Asparouhova has tried deep research for reviews and for surfacing readings she wouldn't have found on her own, but she reports that it still hallucinates papers and summarizes incorrectly — she hasn't felt comfortable letting go of her own verification, and frames the tool as a librarian role requiring substantial curation on top. - Real-life logistics at report speed. Jonny Miller used it as a decision tool for his move to Costa Rica: a one-minute prompt produced a step-by-step relocation guide covering land purchase, notaries, residency, import taxes, and even moving the dog — half a small book, in about 15 minutes. He even vibe-coded an app called Deep Background that turns his notes and sources into an agent-friendly site he can hand to deep research. The shared lesson: deep research excels at breadth — discovering sources and assembling decision briefs — but you treat its output as a starting point, verify what matters, and add your own curation.
