ChatGPT Enhances Deep Research with New Full-Screen Viewer and Advanced Features

OpenAI is rolling out significant updates to ChatGPT's deep research tool, introducing a new full-screen viewer designed to enhance user experience.

This innovative viewer allows users to seamlessly scroll through and navigate AI-generated reports, opening them in a separate window from the main chat interface. Key navigational elements include a table of contents on the left and a comprehensive list of sources on the right, ensuring easy access to report structure and references.

Understanding Deep Research

Originally launched last year, ChatGPT's deep research capability empowers the AI to compile detailed reports on selected topics by thoroughly searching the web. With this latest update, users gain greater control, as they can now direct ChatGPT to concentrate its research efforts on specific websites and connected applications, tailoring the information gathering process.

Expanded Features for Report Generation

The update brings a suite of powerful new functionalities to the deep research tool:

• Real-time progress tracking of the report generation process, keeping users informed every step of the way.
• The crucial ability to modify the research scope while a report is being created, offering dynamic control.
• An option to add new sources mid-creation, allowing for iterative research and refinement.

Upon a report's completion, users can conveniently download it from the new viewer in various practical formats, including Markdown, Word, and PDF.

Rollout Details

These advanced features are being immediately rolled out to Plus and Pro subscribers. Availability for ChatGPT Go tier users and free users is expected in the coming days, making these powerful research tools accessible to a wider audience soon.
