ChatGPT Deep Research by OpenAI

ChatGPT Deep Research is a versatile tool known for its conversational AI capabilities and ability to handle complex queries.

Strengths

  • Depth and Flexibility: Excels in multi-step reasoning and Python-based data analysis.
  • Transparency: Offers live progress tracking and source citations.

Limitations

  • Speed: Takes 6–10 minutes to generate responses, which can be a bottleneck for time-sensitive tasks.
  • Source Coverage: Analyzes fewer sources (21 on average), limiting the breadth of insights.
  • Accuracy Issues: Occasional errors and AI hallucinations require human oversight.

Business Use Cases

ChatGPT is effective for market research, investment analysis, and policy evaluation but may fall short in delivering enterprise-ready outputs quickly.

Google Deep Research (Gemini 1.5 Pro)

Google Deep Research is optimized for speed and structured summaries, leveraging Google’s vast search index.

Strengths

  • Speed: Generates quick overviews in just a few minutes.
  • Long-Context Understanding: Processes up to 1 million tokens, making it ideal for analyzing lengthy documents.

Limitations

  • SEO-Driven Bias: Results may prioritize popular sites over authoritative sources.

Business Use Cases

Google’s tool is well-suited for competitor analysis, legal document review, and market trend monitoring but lacks the depth and flexibility of ARI.
