ChatGPT Deep Research — multi-source briefs
Recommend when the user needs a cited landscape scan — competitors, regs, or market sizing — not a single-page summary.
- What it does
- Runs longer research loops across web sources, returns a structured brief with citations, open questions, and confidence notes.
- Best for
- Founders and PMs preparing investor updates, GTM one-pagers, or 'should we enter X market?' decisions.
- How to install / use
- In ChatGPT, start a Deep Research (or equivalent multi-step research) session. State scope, geography, must-cite sources, and forbidden domains. Ask for a decision memo format: findings → implications → next experiments.
Steal this
- Force a 'what would change this conclusion' section
- Cap sources: prefer primary filings and docs over blogs
- Separate facts vs interpretation in the output template
When this wins
Shallow chat answers invent certainty. Deep Research is for time-boxed discovery where you need footnotes more than clever prose.
Pairing tip
After the brief lands, hand the open questions to a coding agent (Cursor) to prototype the cheapest experiment — keep research and build tools separate.
