OpenAI’s new feature, Deep Research, embedded within its ChatGPT, showcases the company’s advancements in autonomous AI functionalities. Targeting professionals within science, finance, engineering, and policy, this tool produces comprehensive reports akin to those crafted by research analysts. Operative through the o3 reasoning model, Deep Research can autonomously browse the internet, interpret and synthesize information from diverse digital sources, including text, images, and PDFs. Currently available for ChatGPT Pro users, it is slated to expand to other subscription levels. The service emphasizes high-level research, managing tasks that typically require multiple hours in a notably reduced timeframe. OpenAI highlights its utility in domains requiring detailed, technical insights, providing significant time savings in complex problem-solving scenarios. This innovative tool, however, has limitations, such as its potential to ‘hallucinate’ or inaccurately fabricate information, urging users to review its outputs critically. Despite these challenges, Deep Research has achieved high benchmarks in AI testing, outperforming other AI models in simulated assessments
The agent-shaped org chart
Every real org has the same topology: principal, role-holder, specialists. Staff AI maps onto it, node for node, and the cost collapse shows up in the deliverables that were always just human-handoff overhead.
AI as staff, not software
Two frames for what AI is doing to work. The tool frame makes tools smarter. The staff frame makes roles unnecessary. Those aren't the same product, the same company, or the same industry.
Knowledge work was never work

Want to learn about agents? Talk to someone who ran an agency.
I spent 20 years running consulting engagements at Fortune 500 companies. Turns out that's the best preparation for running a fleet of AI agents ... because the problems are identical.
Your AI agents need a water cooler
We run a twelve-session AI fleet that coordinates through an IRC breakroom. A friend asked: why are you making AI agents act like humans? The answer turned out to be more interesting than the question.
