Deep Research performs comprehensive, multi-step research on any topic and delivers cited, well-organized results.
What Deep Research Does
Unlike simple web searches, Deep Research:
- Analyzes your query to understand what you’re really asking
- Searches multiple sources for comprehensive coverage
- Synthesizes information into a coherent response
- Provides citations so you can verify sources
- Organizes findings into a readable format
Starting Deep Research
- Head to the AI menu in the toolbar
- Select Deep Research or the icon
- Enter your research query
- Choose whether to open results in a new thread (recommended) or current thread
- Press Enter or click the search button
Writing Effective Queries
The better your query, the better your results.
Good queries are specific:
- ❌ “Tell me about exercise”
- ✅ “What are the top 5 under-desk exercise bikes for improving health while working, with cited evidence for their effectiveness?”
Include context when helpful:
- ❌ “Best practices”
- ✅ “Best practices for React component testing with Jest and React Testing Library”
Ask for what you need:
- ❌ “Productivity tips”
- ✅ “What are evidence-based strategies for maintaining focus during deep work sessions, citing peer-reviewed research?”
Understanding Results
Deep Research results include:
- Summary - Key findings at a glance
- Detailed analysis - In-depth exploration of the topic
- Citations - Links to source material
- Related topics - Suggestions for further research
Using Results in Your Document
You can easily add research to your document:
- Review the research results in the AI panel
- Select the text you want to use
- Copy and paste into your document
- Or ask the AI to help you incorporate the findings
Opening in New Thread vs. Current Thread
- New Thread (default) - Creates a dedicated thread for this research. Best for topics you want to reference later.
- Current Thread - Adds research to your existing conversation. Best for follow-up questions.
Tips for Best Results
- Be specific - Narrow queries get focused answers
- Provide context - Mention your purpose or audience
- Ask follow-ups - Deep Research remembers context within a thread
- Verify citations - Always check important sources
- Iterate - Refine your query based on initial results
Limitations
- Research quality depends on available online sources
- Very recent events may not be fully covered
- Technical or niche topics may have limited sources
- Always verify critical information independently
