OpenAI's Deep Research, but open

What is Open Deep-Research?

Open Deep-Research is like having a super-smart research assistant that never gets tired of digging through information for you. It's built to help you find answers by asking questions—just like you'd talk to a knowledgeable friend who's great at explaining things. Whether you're a student working on a paper, a professional needing quick insights, or just someone curious about a topic, this tool is designed to make research feel less like a chore and more like a conversation. It's essentially an open alternative to similar question-answering tools, putting powerful AI research capabilities right at your fingertips.

Key Features

Ask Anything, Get Answers: Pose questions in plain English (or your preferred language) and receive clear, well-researched responses. It's perfect for everything from "What's the history of quantum computing?" to "How do I troubleshoot a slow internet connection?"

Deep-Dive Capabilities: Unlike basic search engines, Open Deep-Research doesn't just skim the surface. It pulls from a wide range of sources to give you thorough, nuanced answers.

Context-Aware Responses: The tool understands follow-up questions and builds on previous conversations, so you can refine your research without starting from scratch every time.

Source Transparency: It often highlights where information comes from, helping you gauge reliability—super handy for academic or professional use.

Multilingual Support: Ask questions in various languages and get answers back, breaking down language barriers in research.

Customizable Depth: Need a quick summary or an exhaustive analysis? You can often specify how detailed you want the answer to be.

How to use Open Deep-Research?

  1. Start by typing your question into the input field. Be as specific or as broad as you like—you can always refine later.

  2. Review the initial response. If it's not quite what you were looking for, try rephrasing or asking a follow-up question for clarity.

  3. Use the conversation history to build on earlier answers. For example, after asking "What causes climate change?", you could follow up with "How does that affect polar ice caps?"

  4. If you're researching a complex topic, break it down into smaller questions. This helps the tool provide more focused and useful answers.

  5. Take advantage of any options to specify answer length or detail level, especially if you're short on time or need in-depth analysis.

  6. Explore the sources or references provided (if available) to verify information or dive deeper on your own.
