Inside Deep Research
What happens when you submit a Deep Research query.
Step 1
Research Planning
Analyzes your question and creates a strategy — identifying aspects to investigate, sub-questions to explore, and how to structure the output.
Step 2
Parallel Investigation
Multiple search queries run simultaneously across different angles. Specialized agents cover broad ground by investigating multiple aspects at once.
Step 3
Recursive Exploration
Initial findings trigger deeper follow-up research. Each discovery leads to more specific questions, creating a tree-like exploration pattern.
Step 4
Synthesis & Report
Evaluates source credibility, identifies patterns, resolves conflicts, and compiles everything into a structured report with numbered citations.
What you see during research
Activity log
A live feed of what the agent is currently doing — searching, reading, cross-referencing.
Streaming report
The report builds in real-time as the agent writes. Start reading before research is complete.
Source chips
Quick-access badges linking to every source being cited, with a dedicated sources panel.
Stop anytime
You can stop research at any point if you have seen enough. The report preserves everything found so far.
