OpenAI Deep Research
Autonomous AI agent that runs multi-step web research and delivers structured reports
OpenAI Deep Research is an agentic feature inside ChatGPT that browses the web on your behalf, reading and synthesizing information from many sources to produce a long-form, cited report. Instead of a single quick answer, it plans a research path, follows links, compares findings, and iterates over several minutes to handle questions that would normally take a human hours of digging. It is aimed at tasks like competitive analysis, market and academic research, due diligence, and detailed product or policy comparisons. Users submit a prompt, optionally answer clarifying questions, and receive a written report with inline citations they can verify. The tool is available to paying ChatGPT users with usage limits that vary by plan tier.
- Autonomous multi-step web browsing
- Long-form reports with inline citations
- Clarifying questions before research starts
- Reasoning over text, images, and PDFs
- Progress updates during research runs
- Exportable results within ChatGPT

Company Status Agent
Instantly verify company registration and active status across global official registries.
Company Status Agent is an AI-powered verification tool that checks whether a business is officially registered and currently active. It queries trusted government and corporate registries worldwide, returning a clear status report in seconds rather than requiring manual lookups across multiple jurisdictions. The tool is designed for due diligence, compliance, onboarding, and risk assessment workflows. Teams can use it to validate suppliers, partners, or customers before signing contracts, opening accounts, or extending credit, reducing exposure to fraud and shell entities. By automating registry checks, it streamlines KYB (Know Your Business) processes and gives professionals a consistent way to confirm legal standing across borders.
- AI-powered registry lookups
- Global jurisdiction coverage
- Active vs inactive status checks
- Company identity verification
- Compliance and onboarding support
- Quick on-demand reports
