OpenAI Enhances ChatGPT Access with New Simplified Deep Research Feature

OpenAI recently announced an innovative simplified version of ChatGPT’s Deep Research tool, now available for users on the platform’s free tier. Utilizing a streamlined “o4-mini” AI model, the updated feature offers users concise yet effective research insights. The new service allows non-paying users up to five research requests per month, while subscribers on Plus and Team plans can perform 25 monthly inquiries. Premium subscribers under the Pro category benefit from an extensive 250-task allowance monthly. Enterprise and educational institutions will be included soon. This move underscores OpenAI’s strategy to democratize advanced AI research tools, making them accessible while maintaining operational efficiency.
