OpenAI’s Deep Research Agent Is Coming for White-Collar Work

Wired  

Isa Fulford, a researcher at OpenAI, had a hunch that Deep Research would be a hit even before it was released. Congrats to the folks behind it.” “Deep Research is the AI product that really got a meaningful chunk of the policymaking community in DC to start feeling the AGI,” wrote Dean Ball, a fellow at George Mason University who specializes in AI policy. “Sometimes it’s like ‘I need to backtrack, this doesn't seem that promising,’” says Josh Tobin, another OpenAI researcher involved in building Deep Research. “It’s pretty cool to read some of those trajectories, just to understand how the model is thinking.” OpenAI evidently sees Deep Research as a tool that could take on more office work. Tobin says the longer goal is to “build an agent that is not just good at building reports through searching the web, but is good at many other types of tasks too.” Because Deep Research was trained to analyze and summarize human-written text, Tobin says his team was surprised to see many people using it to generate code.
